Jeff Wadlow's Kick-Ass 2 is creeping up on it's fourth day of filming, and we now have confirmation of the actress who will be playing the villain role of Mother Russia, first teased to us last week with a shot of her torso. Russian bodybuilder Olga Kurkulina will be taking on the role, that of an ex-KGB powerhouse hired by The Motherf***er (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) to add some much-needed muscle to his team of villains, which promises to steal the show much in the same Hit-Girl did in the first film. She's pretty the psychical embodiment of the character, so seems like the perfect fit. At the back of my mind I was afraid they were just going to ask Gina Carano to put on a Russian accent.
Synopsis: The costumed high-school hero Kick-Ass joins with a group of normal citizens who have been inspired to fight crime in costume. Meanwhile, the Red Mist plots an act of revenge that will affect everyone Kick-Ass knows.
Released: 28th June 2013 (U.S.)/ 19th July 2013 (U.K./IRL)
