In a 2017 interview with The Chicago Sun-Times , Carrey explained: "I loved doing The Mask , but that was a long time ago. I’m not a franchise guy. I don’t want to repeat myself. Also, the special effects now would be all CGI, and that takes the magic away."

The only official sequel to the 1994 original is Son of the Mask , released in 2005. That film starred Jamie Kennedy and was a critical and commercial disaster. It holds a 6% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and effectively killed the franchise for two decades.
