Fresh off his moustache-twirling performance as Robotnik in the Sonic trilogy, Jim Carrey is going back to the future with a live-action adaptation of The Jetsons.

As per Deadline, Carrey is in talks to star in The Jetsons, presumably as George Jetson – the dad of the titular futuristic family. Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow could also be onboard to helm the project, which would mark his first feature film since 2022's Jurassic World Dominion.

"For me, at this time of my life – for some reason – I've never really wanted to do sequels. I've never really wanted to do franchise stuff. It didn't occur to me. I just thought, 'I want to move on and do something new'," Carrey said. "Maybe six months before the first Sonic movie, I thought to myself I'd like to have a character that I could sit with for a bit for a few films. Especially if it could evolve, if it could change from film to film."
