Christmas movies are one of the biggest bets for Hollywood, since not only do they raise high revenue in theaters, many of them also become classics that are reproduced over and over again at the end of each year. One of the favorites is ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas’ from 2000, which starred Jim Carrey in the first live-action adaptation of this character, but now we are finding out not be the last time we see the actor as the green meanie, because apparently, Jim Carrey will return as The Grinch.
The movie ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas’ starred Jim Carrey, under the direction of Ron Howard and a script based on the 1957 story of the same name by Dr. Seuss which is already a classic and despite the fact that Carrey is one of the most beloved actors, he was about to leave the film, because the makeup hours were very long and complicated to become this character.
According to information from Daniel Richtman, Jim Carrey will return as The Grinch, since Universal Pictures is considering a second part of this film and will seek to reinstate the comedian to the role, although it is unknown if there is already any kind of offer or a script that can be considered for the sequel.
Curiously, it has not been the only film of the character, because in 2018 ‘The Grinch’ was released, this time not in live-action form but as an animation and the actor Benedict Cumberbatch lent his voice for the green thief. Nevertheless, Jim Carrey will resume this role, since numerous fans associate the actor with this character.
