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.

Though Chuck Russell's beloved 1994 comedy is known mostly for being one of the quintessential Jim Carrey classics that launched him to superstardom, it's also got a weird kind of '90s gloom and an oddly incongruous adult sensibility to it.

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.

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.

Cameron Diaz has shared the one condition she would need to agree to make a sequel to The Mask. The 52- year-old Hollywood star made her acting debut in the 1994 film playing a character named Tina Carlyle alongside Jim Carrey as Stanley Ipkiss aka The Mask.
