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!
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.
A Return to DC Comics?
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."
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.
Jane Carrey
As the daughter of Melissa Womer and Jim Carrey, Jane is no stranger to the performing arts. Trying to carve out her own space in the entertainment industry, Jane found herself as a singer.
Though her father's popularity has, of course, taken its toll, she remains grounded as ever. Jane is now a mother herself and has been married and divorced.
