The mask is back, and it’s bringing chaos to a whole new level. The first official trailer for The Mask 3 (2026) has just been released, and Ryan Reynolds and Tom Hiddleston are ready to take audiences on a laugh-out-loud, action-packed ride as they bring the iconic mask to life in this outrageous, high-energy sequel.

Directed by David F. Sandberg (Shazam!, Annabelle: Creation), The Mask 3 follows a new chapter in the saga of the ancient, mystical mask that gives its wearer god-like powers. This time, Ryan Reynolds stars as Jack “The Mask” Morgan, a down-on-his-luck comedian who stumbles upon the Mask and uses its unpredictable powers to get back at his enemies, only to find himself caught up in a world of wild antics and uncontrollable chaos. Tom Hiddleston plays Victor Malcov, a charismatic yet dangerous adversary who seeks to harness the power of the Mask for his own malicious purposes.

The teaser opens with Jack Morgan (Reynolds) walking into a dilapidated comedy club, looking bored and disillusioned. He picks up the Mask, and as soon as he puts it on, his face morphs into the wild, cartoonish expression we know and love. Jack’s voice rings out, with an almost maniacal laughter: “You’ve got to be kidding me. This is awesome.”

Key moments from the trailer include:

• Jack Morgan’s transformation into the Mask, unleashing a series of wild, cartoon-inspired abilities—from growing to giant proportions to turning into a literal tornado of chaos—while taking down enemies in the most ridiculous, over-the-top ways

• Victor Malcov (Hiddleston) discovering the Mask’s true power and seeking to steal it for himself, unleashing a sinister plan to take control of the Mask and use it to gain ultimate power

• A high-speed chase through the city as Jack, in Mask form, battles Malcov’s henchmen, turning into a slew of zany forms, including a giant talking dog and a stretch limousine

• Jack and Malcov having a tense showdown in a skyscraper, where the Mask’s unpredictable transformations bring both danger and hilarity to the scene

• A hilarious sequence of Jack Morgan using the Mask to woo a mysterious woman (played by Margot Robbie) with his outlandish, exaggerated abilities, leading to a chaotic yet romantic scene full of wild antics

• The jaw-dropping moment when Victor Malcov finally dons the Mask himself, leading to an epic, animated battle of wits, powers, and absurdity

The film promises to deliver the same outrageous humor, wild action, and zany antics that made the original Mask films iconic, but with a fresh, modern twist. Reynolds brings his signature comedic timing and charm to the role of Jack, while Hiddleston’s portrayal of the villainous Malcov adds a layer of sophistication and wit to the chaos.

Social media is already buzzing with excitement, with hashtags like #TheMask3, #ReynoldsTheMask, and #HiddlestonTheVillain trending across platforms.

The Mask 3 (2026) is set to hit theaters on July 3, 2026, with a special IMAX release for maximum comedic and visual impact.
