Screenwriter
Jane Goldman has revealed she doesn't have any interest in writing a Hit-Girl spin-off movie.
The 47-year-old screenwriter penned the script for
Matthew Vaughn's 2010 comedy 'Kick-Ass' which followed the exploits of Dave Lizewski (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) - a young boy with no powers who decides to become a superhero named Kick- Ass - who along the way encounters fellow self-made crime- fighters Big Daddy (
Nicolas Cage) and Hit-Girl (Chloe Grace Moretz).
The first movie was a huge box office hit and a sequel was released in 2013, written-and-directed by Jeff Wadlow, but it was critically panned.
It has long been rumoured that a new film could be made centred on Hit-Girl - a comic book character originally created by
Mark Millar and John Romita, Jr. - with Goldman writing the plot but she said it's just not for her.
"In terms of exploring a young woman who's really great at fighting, that's not particularly my thing. The thing that felt to me subversive and original and incredible about Hit- Girl was to be able to have a physical female lead who was great at fighting, but it wasn't sexualised," she said.
"It says a lot of tragic things about our society that the only way she could not be sexualised was by being 11. But that's the grim reality, folks."
