According to Hollywood Insider, Carrey will play New York businessman Mr Popper, whose life is thrown into chaos when he receives six penguins in the post.
The film, adapted from the 1938 children's book by Richard and Florance Atwater, will be directed by Mean Girls and Spiderwick Chronicles helmer Mark Waters, and will bring together live-action and CGI elements.
Ben Stiller and Jack Black were both linked to the role prior to Carrey's involvement. Shooting is due to begin this autumn.
