Update: Jim Carrey has reportedly accepted the role of Colonel Stars in Kick-Ass 2

In an update to a previous story, Jim Carrey is definitely going to play Colonel Stars in Kick-Ass 2: Balls to the Wall. Apparently, according to Kick-Ass creator Mark Millar, informal talks with Carrey started about two years ago, and as a good friend of Nicolas "Big Daddy" Cage as well as a fan of the first movie, he was ultimately won over. Millar also mentioned something about how Steven Spielberg would have totally cast him as Brody if he was making Jaws today. But I choose to think that in the end, it was because I begged and pleaded and prayed for this to happen. Yeah, that's probably it. My magical superfan prayers. (via I Heart Chaos)
