Jim Carrey Will Star in a Live-Action The Jetsons Movie, Warner Bros. Says
Warner Bros. has officially confirmed that Jim Carrey will star in a live-action adaptation of The Jetsons. The announcement came through the studio’s shareholder letter, marking the formal public debut of a project that had circulated informally since fall 2025.
Carrey, known for roles in Ace Ventura and the Sonic the Hedgehog films, will headline the futuristic comedy. Director Colin Trevorrow, who helmed Jurassic World: Dominion, has been discussed as a potential director for the project, though this has not yet been officially confirmed by the studio.
The film represents a significant return to live-action acting for Carrey outside the Sonic franchise. His last non-Sonic film was the 2016 mystery thriller Dark Crimes, making this project his major live-action venture in over a decade. The casting brings star power to a beloved retro-futuristic property, which originally aired as an animated series in the 1960s and has maintained cultural relevance through reruns, films, and merchandise.
Details regarding the film’s plot, production timeline, and final director remain limited at this stage, with the shareholder announcement serving primarily to confirm the project’s official greenlight and Carrey’s attachment to the lead role.
