Lindy Booth is in talks to join the burgeoning cast of Universal’s superhero sequel Kick-Ass 2: Balls to the Wall, playing Night Bitch. Up until now Booth has been best known as a bit of a scream queen, appearing in the likes of Wrong Turn, Dawn Of The Dead and Cry_Wolf, and indeed it was with the last of those that she first teamed up with Kick-Ass 2 director Jeff Wadlow.
In the comic books, Night Bitch’s identity is kept a mystery. She claims that her sister’s murder drove her to become a costumed vigilante and join the superhero group Justice Forever. Her weapon of choice is a long pole that matches her costume. The actress joins a cast that includes new additions such as John Leguizamo, Donald Faison, Morris Chestnut, and Robert Emms. Aaron Johnson, Chloe Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Nicolas Cage reprise their roles from the first film.
Jeff Wadlow is directing from his own screenplay, with a June 28, 2013 release date already set. Production is scheduled to begin next month in Toronto and New York. (Source: THR)
