Jim Carrey reportedly set to return for The Grinch 2

Christmas has come early.

Though Christmas may be four weeks away, everything is beginning to feel so much more Christmassy. Across the globe Christmas markets have opened up, festive bakes line our stomachs, 24-hour Christmas songs blare out on the radio, but now we’ve got the biggest news of all. It’s been more than 20 years since How The Grinch Stole Christmas but now it looks like we could be getting a reboot. Earlier this year, Giant Freakin Robot reported that a Grinch sequel is imminent and that Jim Carrey would be returning for the role.

Jim Carrey reportedly set to return for The Grinch 2

The outlet wrote: “Jim Carrey is returning to Universal Pictures for The Grinch 2, once again playing Dr. Seuss’ most famous and ill-tempered creation.” That said, Carrey has maintained his silence on the rumoured project, and the actor reprising the role would be quite the surprise after he said back in 2017 that he’s not a big fan of sequels. More specifically, he said: “I find sequels are a function of commerce for the most part. At least the two I’ve done, they were characters I enjoyed doing, but I did find myself almost parroting myself at that point. “When you put 10 years between you and the last time you did it, suddenly you’re going, ‘How did I do that again?’… So, you’re imitating your original inspiration... I’m not a crazy sequel guy.” Read more:
