VIDEO: KICK-ASS 2 Cast Members Address Jim Carrey's Anti-Violence Comments

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, KICK-ASS 2 stars Donald Faison and Morris Chestnut weighed in on Jim Carrey's recent comments on the violence featured in the film. Check out what the pair had to say below.

"I did Kickass a month b4 Sandy Hook and now in all good conscience I cannot support that level of violence," Carrey tweeted in June. He has since withdrawn from all promotional appearances.

The film, written and directed by Jeff Wadlow, stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloë Grace Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Chestnut, John Leguizamo, Faison and Carrey. KICK-ASS 2 hits theaters this Friday, August 16.

Kick-Ass, Hit Girl and Red Mist return for the follow-up to 2010's irreverent global hit: Kick-Ass 2. After Kick-Ass' (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) insane bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, led by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey), our hero joins them on patrol. When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse)-reborn as The Mother F%&*^r-only the blade-wielding Hit Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) can prevent their annihilation.

When we last saw junior assassin Hit Girl and young vigilante Kick-Ass, they were trying to live as normal teenagers Mindy and Dave. With graduation looming and uncertain what to do, Dave decides to start the world's first superhero team with Mindy. Unfortunately, when Mindy is busted for sneaking out as Hit Girl, she's forced to retire-leaving her to navigate the terrifying world of high-school mean girls on her own. With no one left to turn to, Dave joins forces with Justice Forever, run by a born-again ex-mobster named Colonel Stars and Stripes.

Just as they start to make a real difference on the streets, the world's first super villain, The Mother F%&*^r, assembles his own evil league and puts a plan in motion to make Kick-Ass and Hit Girl pay for what they did to his dad. But there's only one problem with his scheme: If you mess with one member of Justice Forever, you mess with them all.
