Jim Carrey In Talks To Join Cast Of ‘KICK-ASS 2’!

This is definitely not the news I expected to be reporting today but I am glad that I am. Deadline reports that Jim Carrey is in talks with Universal to join the cast of Jeff Wadlow’s Kick-Ass 2. They have apparently offered the actor the role of ‘The Colonel’.

The character is called The Colonel, and he helps galvanize the team of misfit super heroes assembled to fight evil.

If you haven’t read the comic series I will let you know that it’s safe to assume that they are referring to ‘Colonel Stars’. This character is an ex-Mafia member turned vigilante who forms “Justice Forever”  with his brother ‘Lieutenant Stripes’. I am kind of wondering if we will get the scene where The Colonel allows his dog to eat the gentials of a bad guy or they’ll cut that one out. While no deal has been made yet I think I should point out that Carrey was a huge fan of Vaughn’s original KICK-ASS film and even appeared on Conan O’Brien in a Kick-Ass costume. I think this would be a great addition to an already pretty damn impressively funny cast. So, fingers crossed that he takes the deal here.
