I am not sure he’s going to say yes, but Jim Carrey is being courted by Universal to play a showy supporting role in Kick-Ass 2: Balls To The Wall, the Jeff Wadlow-directed sequel to Matthew Vaughn’s crazy superhero movie. The character is called The Colonel, and he helps galvanize the team of misfit super heroes assembled to fight evil. The sequel brings back Chloe Moretz, Aaron Johnson, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Nicolas Cage. Carrey is a big fan of Matthew Vaughn and his original Kick-Ass film. Here, he wore the Kick-Ass costume for a musical duet with a bearded Conan O’Brien. But dealmaking is dealmaking, and this is far from a sure thing, at this point just a great idea.

Everybody loves Jim Carrey (myself included) but I don’t see him as the Colonel. The character was nothing like him.
Don’t you mean everyone with a low IQ loves Jim Carrey? Anyone with half a brain knows he’s an unabashed and unbearable ham.
I don’t love Jim Carrey. He’s a one trick pony.
Couldn’t disagree more. If you’ve seen him in things like DOING TIME ON MAPLE DRIVE, you’ve seen him do great dramatic work. The problem is that the public isn’t generally willing to look at him beyond the rubber-faced stuff. He’s a highly versatile actor.
Agree 100% – he was awesome in that role.
Wow this would be shocking if its true. Suddenly I’m more interested in this sequel compared to the first one
JC needs a great comeback movie could be it
Please say Yes Jim! I know he’s not like the character in the comic but the first film was often very different from the comic, and frankly this is a great idea, get an actor known for his funny who can also act well, who they can sell in the advertising get in a few extra more loads of people into theatres to see it, only for him to get…..well anyone whos read the comic knows what happens.
Even though those whove read the comic will know whats coming, most of the public who’ve come to see jim wont, itll be a great shock moment.
Cage was great in the first, why not Carrey!
Jim’s awesome. The problem lies with the people he surrounds himself with: a bunch of cowardly assholes content with counting coppers. Hopefully he’ll wake up one day and kick them to the curb.
