Q: Tell us about your character in Kick-Ass.
Christopher Mintz Plasse: Yeah, I play Red Mist. He really loves what Kick Ass is doing so he wants to partake in that. His rich dad kind of funds him some money so he can get a costume and get a car. He goes out at night and tries to stop crime.
Q: Could you identify with Red Mist?
Christopher Mintz Plasse: Yeah, it was easy playing an 18 year old but I would never. I don’t have a rich family, first off, and I would never go out at night and try to be a superhero. It’s not for me.
Q: What action scenes do you have?
Christopher Mintz Plasse: I am in, I would say two. Two action sequences.
Q: What do you get to do in them?
Christopher Mintz Plasse: They come near the end of the movie where I don’t even want to spoil anything. I feel bad but that’s really when my character gets to his fullest form is in the end, and I can’t ruin that for you guys.
Q: Is there any change Red Mist could ever overtake the legacy of McLovin?
Christopher Mintz Plasse: Oh, you know what? In a different way. I think that the only reason I ever have sex with women is because of Superbad. It’s a known fact.
Q: How’s that going?
Christopher Mintz Plasse: You know, I’m up to like 400. I’m up there. I’m ashamed though. I do my best.
Q: So how might Red Mist do for you?
Christopher Mintz Plasse: I think that they’re just going to look forward to seeing me as an action hero in leather.
