Here’s Kick-Ass comic author Mark Millar’s response:
As you may know, Jim is a passionate advocate of gun-control and I respect both his politics and his opinion, but I’m baffled by this sudden announcement as nothing seen in this picture wasn’t in the screenplay eighteen months ago. Yes, the body-count is very high, but a movie called Kick-Ass 2 really has to do what it says on the tin. A sequel to the picture that gave us HIT-GIRL was always going to have some blood on the floor and this should have been no shock to a guy who enjoyed the first movie so much. My books are very hardcore, but the movies are adapted for a more mainstream audience and if you loved the tone of the first picture you’re going to eat this up with a big, giant spoon. Like Jim, I’m horrified by real-life violence (even though I’m Scottish), but Kick-Ass 2 isn’t a documentary. No actors were harmed in the making of this production! This is fiction and like Tarantino and Peckinpah, Scorcese and Eastwood, John Boorman, Oliver Stone and Chan-Wook Park, Kick-Ass avoids the usual bloodless body-count of most big summer pictures and focuses instead of the CONSEQUENCES of violence, whether it’s the ramifications for friends and family or, as we saw in the first movie, Kick-Ass spending six months in hospital after his first street altercation. Ironically, Jim’s character in Kick-Ass 2 is a Born-Again Christian and the big deal we made of the fact that he refuses to fire a gun is something he told us attracted him to the role in the first place.
Ultimately, this is his decision, but I’ve never quite bought the notion that violence in fiction leads to violence in real-life any more than Harry Potter casting a spell creates more Boy Wizards in real-life. Our job as storytellers is to entertain and our toolbox can’t be sabotaged by curtailing the use of guns in an action-movie.

That's all I have to say about that.

[Fromk]

I assume he'll be donating the paycheck and any royalties to charity.

[Great-Kazoo]

The comments section is great.

"I don't see Jim Carrey rushing to give back or donate the money he was paid"

[lpgasman]

Wonder if he's going to give back all the money he made? If he's really that concerned.

[glock74]

Jim Carrey is a has been. He only made a couple of funny movies, that was in the 90's.

This. And the guy is a fucking hypocrite. His role in this movie will put a big fat exclamation point on it.

[Ronin13]

F*ck Jim Carrey... That's all I have to say about that. I wish he would fade away, like Corey Feldman did.

[Zundfolge]

A generation from now people will still be watching Charlton Hesston movies. They'll also be saying "Jim who?"

Jimbo knows this and that's why he's panicking and clamoring for relevance.

HAHA! Yes! I'd still rather watch a movie where a hero says "Take your hands off me you damn dirty apes!" Rather than watch a man talk out of his ass... literally.

[DavieD55]

The guy is an absolute wanker.

[beast556]

100% bag of shit. Hopefully this will be his last film.

[BREATHER]

It is well known that Mr. Carrey is Bi-Polar, used to be know as Manic Depression. Seeing as how "mental illness" inhibits thoughts, his veiws, therefore, would be skewed. With all his successes comes a wealth that the common working American does not have and he can afford to hire protection for him and whatever family he may have....

[mtnhack]

Fuckin douche. Thanks for the backhanded "apology". Or rather, thanks for nothing.

[WETWRKS]

Just ignore him. Maby he will go away.

[Zundfolge]

Too little, too late ... FU Jimbo!

[Ah Pook]

Just watched The Incredible Burt Wonderstone. JC was a very secondary character and not a very good one. I don't see an A list red carpet in the near future. [NoClue]

Why has this been making the news? [Roll1]

[Jim B]

Just ignore him. Maby he will go away.

Back to Canada. [Wave]

[HoneyBadger]

Yeah, he's pretty irrelevant nowadays.
