Jim Carrey Comments on Mask Sequel Possibility

Jim Carrey has discussed the potential for a sequel to his iconic film The Mask, expressing that he would only consider reprising his role if there is a compelling story, rather than for financial reasons. In a recent interview with ComicBook.com, Carrey emphasized that the right idea is crucial for him to return to the character, stating, "It’s not really about the money." He acknowledged that although he had previously mentioned retirement, he might change his mind if presented with a project he finds intriguing. The original film, which grossed over $351 million worldwide and was pivotal in launching his career, also featured Cameron Diaz and Peter Riegert. Additionally, Carrey is currently involved in the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and has shown interest in possibly reprising his role as the Grinch, provided it doesn't involve extensive makeup. His remarks highlight a broader theme in Hollywood where sequels must offer fresh narratives to attract returning actors.
