Kick-Ass has now officially made Aaron Johnson hot property. We know this because every time a new movie gets greenlit, he is rumoured to be attached.

Either that, or Bryan Singer just really likes him. After rumours that Johnson would be appearing in Singer’s X-Men: First Class (before the director dropped the gig and settled for a producer credit), word is coming through that Johnson will instead head up Singer’s Jack The Giant Killer .

The director’s update of fairytale Jack And The Beanstalk has just been given a green light by New Line Ci🍬nema, and Singer is wasting no time setting about for a cast.

Cheeky chappie Johnson is apparently top of the list, and seems perfect for the role, having impressed with Kick-Ass and Nowhere Boy (even if the upcoming Chatroom is a disappointment). Let's just hope his home co𓆉mmitments (his partner's just ꦰhad a baby) won't keep him from kicking giant rumps.

The current synopsis doing the rounds on the net involves a p🥃rince♑ss being kidnapped, rupturing the peace between men and giants. A young farmer then goes on a mission to the giant kingdom to rescue the princess.

Pri🅠ncipal photography is set to commence in March 2011, while unconfirmed rumours are swirling that the film 💃will be shot in 3D.
