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.”

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 confirmed that she’s interested in returning for a sequel to the 1994 Jim Carrey movie “The Mask” — but on one major condition. “If Jim’s on board, I mean, I’ve been riding those coattails from day one,” she said in an interview with Access Hollywood.

Diaz, who just came out of a 10-year retirement from acting in Netflix’s “Back in Action,” recently revealed to Access Hollywood that she’d be open to returning for a sequel to the 1994 comedy “The Mask” as long as Jim Carrey is involved.

Cameron Diaz is ready to revisit the role that made her famous. The Back In Action star, 52, said she’d be down to reprise her breakthrough role as Tina Carlyle in a sequel to The Mask, but only if lead actor Jim Carrey is back.

Stanley then comes up against crime boss Dorian Tyrell (Peter Greene), while Cameron Diaz makes her start in Hollywood as lounge singer Tina Carlyle, The Mask's eventual love interest. In a recent interview with Access Hollywood, Diaz was asked about reprising her debut role, noting that Carrey kind of said he would be up for it.

Cameron Diaz is possibly looking for another good time with The Mask. The actress, who just made her onscreen return in Netflix’s Back in Action following a 10-year hiatus, recently told Access Hollywood that she would be open to reprising her role in a sequel to 1994’s The Mask, starring Jim Carrey .

When Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx did press for Back In Action, which is now streaming for those with a Netflix subscription, the 52-year-old was asked if she’d be open to playing Tina Carlyle again after it became her first movie in 1994 – especially after Jim Carrey shared his interest in returning. In her words:

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.
