21 Perfect Superhero Movie Casting Choices That Nailed Their Characters

12. Chloë Grace Moretz As Hit Girl - Kick Ass

Kick Ass was a bit of an unprecedented hit when it first released in 2010, adapting Mark Millar's famed hyper-violent graphic novel in great detail and with minor alterations to the source material. All of the cast were top-notch, particularly Nicholas Cage who played 'Big Daddy', but it was Grace Moretz's début as Hit Girl that everyone remembers most fondly.

The foul-mouthed vigilante was equally endearing as she was badass - two essential aspects that the actor nailed superbly. With Hit-Girl getting a comic book spin-off of her own, it'd be fantastic to see another film adaptation centred around the character - just as long as Moretz comes back though.
