The 64-year-old actor portrayed the cynical and scheming green-furred creature in 2000 movie How The Grinch Stole Christmas, and he's expected to return for a sequel.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Universal and Imagine Entertainment are developing a follow-up film about the D Seuss character, with Ron Howard set to direct the Christmas movie.
Alec Berg, Jeff Schaffer and David Mandel are to pen the script for the motion picture, after they teamed up for Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat adaptation in 2003.
In 2024, Carrey admitted he was willing to return for a How the Grinch Stole Christmas sequel - as long as it is in motion capture.
He told ComicBook.com: "Oh, gosh, you know, if we could figure out the Grinch.
"The thing about it is, on the day, I do that with a ton of makeup and can hardly breathe. It was an extremely excruciating process.
"The children were in my mind all the time. 'It's for the kids. It's for the kids. It's for the kids.' And now, with motion capture and things like that, I could be free to do other things. Anything is possible in this world."
Carrey spent around eight hours a day in make-up to be turned green for the Grinch role.
