No, you didn't dream that there's a third entry into Matthew Vaughn's Kick-Ass franchise - and it's probably the last thing anyone expected.

Far from a direct sequel to the two previous R-rated superhero films, Stuntnuts: The Movie is a spin-off focusing on a team of athletes who rent out their stuntman services to try and save their financially impacted gym.

Among the cast is, surprisingly enough, Sam Rockwell and Chris Hemsworth.

Vaughn has puzzlingly designed the film to kick-start a new trilogy of Kick-Ass movies, though he won't be directing any of them, instead handing off duties to his regular stunt performer collaborator Damien Walters.

Easy though it is to picture Rockwell and Hemsworth having killer chemistry in a violent buddy comedy like this, what an odd way to try and rejuvenate the Kick-Ass franchise.

It started shooting in October 2023 and still hasn't come out, and stranger still, a standalone sequel, Stuntnuts Does School Fight, was actually shot first, way back in 2021.
