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.”

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.

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.
