Comic book movies have been around long enough now that they are starting to mimic the very books they are based on. What was old is new again, and it's all about the reboot.
This doesn't just apply to the comic book superheroes that we all think of but also to the things that came in and shook up the genre when it was really starting to go mainstream. One of the films that shook up the genre was Kick-Ass back in 2010, and while the first film was a critical and commercial success, the second one wasn't nearly as beloved, and things have been pretty quiet ever since. However, director Matthew Vaughn was at New York Comic Con this weekend.
Kick-Ass was also a film that was considered a massive risk at the time, and Vaughn admitted that he basically bet the farm on the film, and then they couldn't find distribution. If you think about the state of comic book movies in 2010, that isn't that surprising considering what Kick-Ass is, but that was the reality that Vaughn was living in.
