Diaz played a nightclub singer named Tina Carlyle opposite Carrey’s Stanley Ipkis, a bank teller who comes into possession of a magical mask. Carrey told Comicbook.com in December 2024 that he would return for a sequel, but “it has to be the right idea.”

Both Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz have called for a sequel to be made of The Mask. The 1994 film, loosely based on the comic book series of the same name, created by Mike Richardson and further developed for Dark Horse Comics by Doug Mahnke and John Arcudi, was directed by Chuck Russell.

Jim Carrey, who turns 63 on Friday, Jan. 17, has portrayed several iconic characters in his career, including The Grinch, The Mask, Truman Burbank, The Riddler and Dr. Eggman. See 10 of his most notable roles here.

Cameron Diaz may return in a sequel to The Mask, only if Jim Carrey reprises his role. The Mask was a defining film for both actors in 1994. Diaz took a break from acting in 2014 for family life but is now back with a new Netflix movie.

Jim Carrey’s successful career is nothing to laugh at. Since scoring his breakout gig on the series In Living Color in 1990, Carrey has captivated the big and small screen with his slick wit, hilarious humor and uncanny ability to bring people to stitches with laughter.
