BREAKING: Jim Carrey has been set to play the role of The Colonel in the Jeff Wadlow-directed sequel Kick-Ass 2: Balls To The Wall. Deadline broke this August 20 when Carrey had the offer to play a guy who helps galvanize the team of misfit super heroes assembled to fight evil. Wadlow just tweeted the news. 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 Conan O’Brien.


Jim Carrey? The name sounds familiar. Didn’t he have a career once?
I’ve heard of Jim Carrey. Never heard of you.
Yeah. A bigger one than you ever had.
Had?!?!?! umm… you see he is in this movie and another this year. Which means, while i wrote this, he made your yearly salary.
I wonder if the story was “floated” out into the press to gauge fans’ and industry reaction (on comment boards like this one). Once they saw that the reaction was pretty positive, did that give Carrey the comfort to close the deal and accept the role?
Just curious. Wonder if (and how often) that kind of thing happens.
Thoughts?
Nice to know there are others who look deeper than the surface of things.
Oh yes. Jim Carrey AND Nicholas Cage? Please, there is no way this sequel will not be full of awesomeness.
How does Nicolas Cage return in the sequel? Didn’t his character die? Is it done in flashbacks?
doesn’t matte anymore. signourey waver is coming back for avatar. they just throw back in characters because it works
Jim Carrey under control? Absolutely yes. Jim Carrey allowed to dominate and star as “Jim Carrey?” Absolutely no.
what if Jim wants to fast the entire shoot ?
can they still finish ???
will he show up and respect how lucky he is to be working
Yeah, 10 years ago it’d'e been huge. Now it’s “does he still make movies?”
I dont know – whether to laungh, whether to cry
I can’t wait!! Been rooting for a Carrey Comeback.
I am excited to hear of Jim Carrey’s casting in the film. However, I am a bit disappointed that Nicolas Cage will not have much involvement in the sequel. I thought that he played the character well in the original film and the chemistry he had with Chloe Grace Moretz was evident throughout. I was hoping that they could further flesh out his character in the sequel but I was a bit miffed to hear that he will only have a cameo at best. Hopefully, they don’t kill his character off at the beginning of the film, which is a ploy that many hollywood sequels have been using lately. Cage hasn’t been in many notable films since Kick Ass two years ago. I was hoping that his involvement in the sequel could compensate for his recent string of lackluster films.
Anyways, Carrey will make a great addition to the cast. He is a great actor and I like when he tackles on roles where he can combine both his skills as a comedian and as a dramatic actor. Furthermore, I enjoy watching him in darker films where he plays characters who are twisted or disturbed. I’m elated to hear that the film will be released in June!!!
