Even though filming is soon to begin on the new movie, “Kick-Ass 2: Balls to the Wall“, there has been much speculation as to who would fill the coveted role for Colonel Stars.

Well, much of that speculation can now end because it seems that the director of the movie, Jeff Wadlow, has confirmed on his Twitter page that it is indeed Jim Carrey that is going to take on the short role of Colonel Stars for the new sequel. In case you’re not sure who Colonel Stars is, he’s a new character from sequel to the original comic series who assembles a crew of superheroes to help fight evil and was a former mob enforcer beforehand.

As a matter of fact, this is what Jeff Wadlow posted to his Twitter page just a couple of days ago:

 

Jim Carrey has been a huge fan of the original movie and has even done cameos with Conan O’Brien on various TV shows as the original Kick-Ass character from the movie.

I’m looking forward to seeing him in the role. It seems to be a different role for Carrey to play and I’m very curious to see how he and Wadlow interpret the character with an actor known for comedy above anything else.
