Fresh off his role as a mutant superhero in the blockbuster "X2: X-Men United," Alan Cumming is in early negotiations to take on a more villainous role in New Line Cinema's "Son of the Mask," the second installment of "The Mask" franchise. Starring Jamie Kennedy, "Son of the Mask" carries on with the premise of a character-altering mask that was established in the 1994 blockbuster feature starring Jim Carrey. This time around, it follows an aspiring cartoonist (Kennedy) who is not ready for fatherhood but finds himself raising a baby endowed with the powers of the mask of Loki (Cumming).
