I think if Kutcher signs on, he'll have to play the same character. He is not talented enough to play a character in a semi-sequel that is different from the first film.
Ashton needs to retire from acting. He has no talent. He should stick to modeling. Two words you'll never hear to introduce Ashton Kutcher: Oscar Nominee.
I agree Ashton should stay out of acting. in fact, he's annoying on all counts!! so i wish he would retire from the public eye on ALL COUNTS.
