Hated KICK ASS 2, don't know why they'd bother with a third movie unless they get enough cash invested to make it happen. I can't see it happening myself...but it's good to see Millar and Romita stomping on Jim Carrey at least!
http://variety.com/2014/film/news/kick- ... 201279514/The sequel was surrounded in controversy during its release, thanks to Carrey publicly speaking out against the film’s violence, in line with his anti-gun stance. The comicbook co-creator, artist John Romita, Jr., sounded off on his thoughts on that as well.
“As for Jim Carrey, I know I’ll never work with that bonehead again, so let me say this,” he said. “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,” he added.
