‘Kick-Ass 2’ Creators: Jim Carrey Is A Bonehead! Comedian's Unprofessional Comments May Have Cost Them 'Kick-Ass 3!'

The creators of "Kick-Ass 2" really had a bone to pick with comedian Jim Carrey. After making "Kick-Ass 2" he turned around and shot it down because of the violence in the film.

It turns out, Carrey was a strong gun control advocate and the movie was shown just after the Sandy Hook incident when gun control became an issue. After hearing accusations of being a hypocrite for starring in a 'violent film' Carrey thought it was time to throw the movie under the bus:

Fast forward to a year later, and "Kick-Ass 3" is still not even a concept. It's a possibility only if they take the debacle of the second one in context. However, Carrey is not the sole culprit. The film itself fell way short of the first one.

Mark Millar spoke to Comic Book Resources:

"The second one didn't make as much. It cost a little less at around $24 million, made $61 million and made about $100 million again on DVD and TV rights. It was still profitable. It was by no means THE LONE RANGER. But does that mean we'll make another one again? I don't know. It's definitely up in the air, and we'll just have to see. Matthew [Vaughn] is a guy who I trust to make that decision. If he decides he does want to do it, I know he'll get it done well. And he's got the movie rights, so it's ultimately his decision. I speak to Matthew every day, and we haven't discussed KICK-ASS 3 so who knows? The option is always open."

John Romita, Jr. is still on the warpath for the comedian, though:

"As for Jim Carrey, I know I'll never work with that bonehead again, so let me say this; I think Mark and I have talked about this before, but here's a guy who could have capitalized on the character he played and played it toward his anti-gun stance. The character he played gave up weapons - gave up guns - and became a good guy. Anybody with three quarters of an education could have figured out how to fold that idea in with their anti-gun ideas. He's not a smart enough guy to do that. He cashed his check and took his money, and then he went and pulled a bunch of crap on our film. He took money out of their pockets, and he should be ashamed of himself."

Do you still want a "Kick-Ass 3" movie or has the franchise run its course?
