Everyone loved to see their favorite actor reprise their famous roles. This is why a huge sense of excitement swept the world when fans learned that the actor might come back to DC Comics. And while everyone adored the Riddler, there may be another role in store for him.
According to insider Daniel Richtman’s Patreon account, Warner Bros. hopes to bring Carrey back for another DC Comics movie Joker. However, it’s unclear whether the rumored role would be for a sequel to “The Batman” or “Joker.”
Art Work
Jim Carrey's shift away from Hollywood occurred because he truly did accomplish most of what he set out to achieve as an actor. In 2016, he began pursuing a new career in painting. The actor has always loved to paint and express his feelings on a canvas. His art also allows him to address politics and world events.
In 2018, the actor turned artist put his artwork on display. The exhibit took place during the 2018 mid-term elections and allowed Carrey to raise specific world issues.
Not Completely Forgotten
While the actor's career took a bump, and Carrey's other pursuits flourished, it wasn't completely "goodbye showbiz." Fans were delighted to learn that their favorite comedian was back in a big way. Carrey would be the voice of the iconic "Sonic the Hedgehog."
In true Carrey fashion, he would also be back in a more dramatic role, this time in a killer new Showtime series. The show "Kidding" features Carrey as a children's performer named Mr. Pickles, who struggles juggling his work and personal tragedies. His performance received rave reviews, and his costars Catherine Keener, Frank Langella, and Judy Gree have been no less impressive.
But Not To The Mask
Like so many of his roles, fans have begged for sequels, but Jim Carrey is not always on board. When it comes to "The Mask," Carrey has expressed some resistance to a sequel. However, he hasn't ruled it out entirely.
Carrey said, "I don't want to do it just to do it. But I would only do it if it was some crazy visionary filmmaker. Sure." We hope that a visionary filmmaker is out there somewhere!
How Roland Rolls
It looks like Carrey achieved just about everything he could on the silver screen. He then branched out into art, but the comedian has even another passion, and this may have even been the inspiration for this character on "Kidding." Carrey released a children's book in 2013.
The book, titled "How Roland Rolls," tells the story of a wave that is afraid his life will be over when he hits the shore. The book even included an EP of original songs that collaborated between Carrey and his singer daughter Jane Carrey.
