Ace Ventura 3: Fury of the Feathered Kingdom (2026) explodes onto the screen with Jim Carrey triumphantly returning as the world’s loudest, strangest, and most passionately unhinged Pet Detective, diving headfirst into his biggest animal mystery yet — the theft of a mythical phoenix whose existence could reshape the entire natural world. After spending years in seclusion at a mountaintop jungle monastery attempting (and failing) to master inner peace, Ace is yanked back into action when a panicked international wildlife coalition reveals that the legendary firebird, long believed extinct, has been captured by an unknown force.
Ian McNeice’s ever-frazzled Fulton Greenwall, now the director of a global rescue initiative, reluctantly turns to Ace despite knowing full well he may save the bird while accidentally destroying half the planet. Simon Callow returns with gloriously pompous flair, secretly tied to a powerful underground network trafficking exotic creatures to the highest bidder. New comedic energy blasts into the story with Awkwafina as Kimmy Tso, a razor-sharp cryptozoologist whose scientific brilliance is constantly tested by Ace’s chaotic instincts, and John Cena as Striker, a hulking wildlife ranger whose intimidating presence hides a gentle love for vulnerable baby animals.
The investigation sends Ace sprinting, leaping, and shrieking across lush jungle canopies, volcanic archipelagos, glacial monasteries, and a billionaire’s armored “private zoo fortress,” accidentally befriending a mood-swinging condor, triggering a stampede of furious warthogs, and somehow convincing an entire penguin colony that he’s their new beak-flapping alpha. But as Ace uncovers a shocking prophecy revealing that the phoenix’s feathers contain genetic secrets capable of restoring endangered species — or mutating them into unstoppable hybrid predators — he clashes with a ruthless biotech corporation plotting to weaponize evolution itself. What follows is a whirlwind of cartoonish insanity: Ace conducting an aerial symphony of tropical birds, battling an engineered mega-komodo dragon, escaping a collapsing sky-aviary filled with explosive nests, dodging drone swarms piloted by trained hawks, and ultimately risking everything atop a blazing mountain aerie as the phoenix prepares to erupt back into life.
Bursting with slapstick comedy, wild creature spectacle, and Jim Carrey at full-power absurdity, Ace Ventura 3: Fury of the Feathered Kingdom reminds us that when nature is in danger, only one man can speak its language — and somehow make everything ten times crazier in the process.
