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.”

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 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.
