Mel Gibson is reportedly set to make his acting comeback - in a film directed by his Maverick co-star Jodie Foster.

The Hollywood actor has shunned movie roles in the last few years, preferring instead to focus on his work as a director.

But Gibson is reportedly eyeing a return to a leading role with his palFoster, who has signed up to helm The Beaver, about a depressed man who finds solace in a hand-puppet, according to Variety.com.

Funnyman Jim Carrey was previously rumoured to be in the running to star in the film.

It will mark Foster's third outing as a director after 1991's Little Man Tate and Home for the Holidays in 1995.
