Cameron Diaz Ready for ‘The Mask’ Sequel—But Only if Jim Carrey Joins!: “I’ve been riding those coattails from day one”

Cameron Diaz is back in the spotlight after taking an 11-year break from acting. Her new Netflix movie, ‘Back in Action,’ stars her alongside Jamie Foxx, and the two have been doing press interviews to promote the film. During a recent chat with Access Hollywood Diaz commented on one of her most iconic movies – ‘The Mask.’

Cameron Diaz said she would be open to reprising her role as Tina Carlyle in a Mask sequel, but only if Jim Carrey is also involved. She joked that she’s been riding his coattails since the first movie.

If Jim’s on board, I mean, I’ve been riding those coattails from day one.

Jim Carrey said in the past he would consider returning to his role as Stanley/The Mask only if the right idea came along. He emphasized that it’s not about the money and that while he had previously talked about retiring, a great project or team could change his mind. So, the sequel is definitely on the table.

‘The Mask,’ released in 1994, became a huge hit, known for its over-the-top humor, colorful visuals, and Carrey’s energetic performance. The Mask’s transformation scenes and its wild, slapstick comedy made it memorable. It also helped to cement Carrey’s reputation as a top comedic actor.

The movie’s influence on pop culture is still felt today. Phrases like “Ssssssmokin’!” became iconic catchphrases, and the idea of a “man with powers from a magical mask” has been referenced in other movies, TV shows, and comics.
