Jim Carrey revealed why he returned for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 to reprise his position as Doctor Robotnik.
During the movie’s UK premiere in London, the Ace Ventura Pet Detective star joked about why he signed on to do the third installment of the movie based mostly on the Sega online game.
“I came back to this universe because, first of all, I get to play a genius, which is a bit of a stretch. And, you know, it’s just… I bought a lot of stuff and I need the money, frankly. Yeah,” Carrey advised the Associated Press.
In 2022, when the Bruce Almighty star was selling the sequel to Sonic the Hedgehog, he stated he was retiring from appearing.
“I’m being fairly serious,” he stated in an interview to Access Hollywood on the time. “It depends. If the angels bring some sort of script that’s written in gold ink, that says to me that it’s going to be really important for people to see, I might continue down the road. But I’m taking a break.”
When AP requested through the premiere on December 10 about what he stated in 2022, Carrey stated, “That might have been hyperbole.”
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 opens in U.S. theaters on December 20. The third installment of the action-adventure movie has Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles dealing with a mysterious adversary generally known as Shadow the Hedgehog and are pressured to type an unlikely alliance with villain Dr. Robotnik.
The voice solid contains Ben Schwartz as Sonic, Colleen O’Shaughnessey as Tails, Idris Elba as Knuckles, and Keanu Reeves as Shadow. Live-action actors embody Carrey, James Marsden, Tika Sumpter, Krysten Ritter, Natasha Rothwell, Lee Majdoub, Tom Butler, Adam Pally, Shemar Moore and Alyla Browne.
