"Kick-Ass 2" is the sequel to the 2010 film in which two teenagers decide they don't need super powers to fight crime. Needless to say there's a fair amount of violence in both movies. Carrey, later added that he didn't feel "ashamed" of being a part of the film, but that recent events caused a change in his heart.

I meant to say my apologies to others involve with the film. I am not ashamed of it but recent events have caused a change in my heart.
