In Ace Ventura 3: Primal Instinct (2026), the legendary pet detective is back, and this time, he’s wading through a new world of danger, fashion, and eco-terrorism. Ace Ventura (Jim Carrey), with his trademark wild antics, outrageous outfits, and over-the-top humor, is thrown into the high-stakes world of endangered wildlife, fashion moguls, and deadly syndicates. It’s a chaotic, fast-paced, and laugh-out-loud adventure that promises everything fans of the franchise love, but with a wilder edge.

The story kicks off with Ace being recruited by Melissa Robinson (Courteney Cox), now the Director of the Global Wildlife Intelligence Agency. Her mission for Ace is simple—take down “The Gilded Cage,” a ruthless syndicate exploiting endangered animals for profit. The twist? Ace must infiltrate the fashion industry, where the syndicate’s operations are hiding in plain sight. Margot Robbie plays the formidable fashion mogul behind this deadly operation, and her performance is equal parts glamorous and cunning. Her character adds an element of danger that pushes Ace to the limits of his chaotic brilliance.
What makes Primal Instinct so enjoyable is Jim Carrey’s ability to fully embrace the outlandishness of his role. His physical comedy and slapstick humor are as sharp as ever, with each scene escalating in absurdity. Whether he’s battling assassins in the Amazon jungle or clashing with supermodels on a fashion runway, Carrey’s performance keeps the energy high and the laughs rolling. It’s classic Ace—ridiculous, irreverent, and completely unpredictable.

In addition to Carrey’s return, the film offers a fresh dynamic with the cast. Courteney Cox steps into a more serious role as Melissa Robinson, contrasting Ace’s wackiness with her more grounded, professional character. The chemistry between the two, though full of comedic tension, adds heart to the film, giving the audience a reason to care about the mission at hand—no matter how ridiculous it may seem.
Meanwhile, the action sequences are impressively staged. From the jungle’s dense foliage to the high-fashion runways of Paris, Primal Instinct is an adrenaline-fueled rollercoaster. Ace faces off against assassins, goes toe-to-toe with fashion models, and somehow manages to get tangled in every possible mess along the way. The chaos feels natural in the world Ace inhabits, where danger and humor blend into a cocktail of non-stop action.
Margot Robbie’s role as the villainous fashion mogul is a standout. She brings sophistication, charm, and a cold edge to her character, creating a perfect foil for Ace’s unpredictable antics. Her performance adds a layer of sophistication to the otherwise slapstick comedy, making her an unforgettable antagonist. In the world of fashion and eco-terrorism, Robbie’s character commands the screen every time she appears, elevating the stakes of Ace’s mission.

As the plot twists and turns, Ace’s chaotic brilliance shines through in every scene. From outsmarting foes to tackling near-impossible missions, he does it all with his unique brand of zany charm. The film is packed with moments that are both absurd and brilliant, as Ace navigates a world that’s as glamorous as it is dangerous. The costumes, set design, and overall aesthetics of the fashion world provide a striking backdrop to Ace’s bizarre antics, making the visuals as entertaining as the plot.
The film doesn’t just rely on its wild action and comedy—it also explores themes of corruption, exploitation, and the environment. Ace’s mission to take down “The Gilded Cage” becomes more than just a chaotic adventure; it’s a reminder of the importance of protecting endangered species and taking action against exploitation. While the movie never loses its comedic tone, there’s a subtle undercurrent of social commentary that adds a layer of depth to the action.
The soundtrack is another highlight of Primal Instinct. With its mix of high-energy tunes and quirky musical choices, the soundtrack perfectly complements the film’s tone. Whether it’s a high-octane chase sequence or a comedic showdown, the music amplifies the excitement and fun, keeping the audience engaged in every moment.
Ultimately, Ace Ventura 3: Primal Instinct is the kind of film that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and that’s what makes it so much fun. It’s an over-the-top, laugh-out-loud adventure that stays true to the essence of the franchise while introducing new challenges and characters that keep the story fresh. Carrey’s return to the role of Ace Ventura feels like slipping into an old, beloved pair of shoes—familiar, comfortable, and utterly hilarious.
As Ace takes on his most outrageous case yet, one thing is clear: Ace Ventura 3: Primal Instinct is a wild, unpredictable ride that fans of the franchise and newcomers alike will thoroughly enjoy. It’s the kind of movie that leaves you laughing long after the credits roll, and with Ace at the helm, you can bet that no one is safe from his chaotic brilliance.
In the end, Primal Instinct delivers what fans expect—bigger laughs, wilder stunts, and a pet detective who’s more outrageous than ever before. The world better watch out—Ace Ventura is back, and this time, he’s taking on the fashion world in his own uniquely chaotic way.
