Kick-Ass comic book readers are already aware that the titular hero of “Kick-Ass,” is in for some serious hurt come the film’s April 16 release date, though no one is sure what’s in store for The Red Mist.

Played by actor Christopher Mintz-Plasse , The Red Mist is a very different from his crime fighting forebearer, with a more prominent mane, a glammed-out look, a set of wheels and an appetite for occasional illegal substance.

“My character is very more out there, very open with smoking weed and is like, ‘let’s go out there and fight crime!’ and Kick-Ass is very aware of what’s going on around him”

The cavalier antics of The Red Mist may have to do with his association with the mob, namely his father’s occupation as a something of a crime lord, which could complicate his alliances when push comes to shove. Whatever the case, in the spirit of secret identities, Mintz-Plasse seems committed to remaining spoiler-free.

“I have one-and-a-half fight scenes,” said Mintz-Plasse, “I can’t tell you what it is.”
