Ferrell’s character is a major contributor to the movie’s rewatch value as he gave something to laugh about in every scene. Will Ferrell’s ‘Elf’ was a success and he’s lucky to have been able to play the role Will Ferrell/Everett Elf grossed over $220 million as against its $33 million budget, showing the movie’s success and global acceptance. Ferrell was even meant to reprise his role for a sequel; however, he turned down the offer of $29 million due to its similarity with the original. Ferrell also thought a sequel seemed like an unnecessary cash grab that would likely not meet the standards of the original.
