Ace Ventura 3 (2026): The Pet Detective Returns—Wilder, Weirder, and Definitely Not House-Trained

He's back. He's louder. And the jungle isn’t ready for the madness he’s bringing.

Ace Ventura 3 (2026) marks the glorious, chaotic comeback of cinema’s most unhinged animal detective. After years off the grid (and likely living among dolphins), Ace returns to a world that’s changed dramatically—but he hasn’t. With his trademark Hawaiian shirts, gravity-defying hair, and an allergy to seriousness, Ace is once again unleashed on a new, absurd mystery.

This time, Ace is dragged out of semi-retirement when an endangered albino tiger cub disappears from a billionaire influencer’s eco-resort in the Amazon. What seems like a simple rescue mission turns into an international mess involving a fake conservation foundation, jungle cults, crypto-funded poachers, and—naturally—lots of animal poop. And yes, Ace still talks through his butt.

In a surprising twist, he’s joined by his estranged daughter, Luna Ventura, a no-nonsense wildlife biologist who finds her father as embarrassing as he is inexplicably effective. Together, they must navigate treacherous terrain, outrun bounty hunters, and out-weird the villains, all while trying to reconnect through their wildly different worldviews.

Hilarious, irreverent, and somehow still heartwarming, Ace Ventura 3 brings back the madness—and maybe even a little redemption for its legendary lead.
