Jim Carrey is set to return as Dr. Robotnik in the upcoming video game sequel, Sonic the Hedgehog 3. This news is sure to excite fans of the beloved comedic icon and the speedy hedgehog himself. Carrey first portrayed the character in the original Sonic the Hedgehog movie released in 2020. However, it was not until the end of the film that he fully transformed into the iconic bald-headed, mustachioed supervillain that fans know and love.

In Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Robotnik teams up with Knuckles the Echidna, but he mysteriously goes missing by the end of the film. It is highly likely that he will make a comeback in Sonic 3.

The movie is scheduled to hit theaters in December.

Alongside the announcement of Carrey's return, the official logo for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has been unveiled, teasing the appearance of another fan-favorite character, Shadow the Hedgehog. The caption accompanying the logo hints at Shadow's involvement in the plot, stating, "You all thought I was gone, but I've just been underground. What you've seen from me is only a #shadow of things to come..."

While specific plot details are being kept secret, it has been confirmed that Shadow will play a significant role in the film.

The character, known for their antihero persona, made a brief appearance in the mid-credits scene of Sonic the Hedgehog 2. The voice actor for Shadow has yet to be announced, but fans have speculated that stars like Christian Bale, Jeremy Strong, or Keanu Reeves could be good choices.

Directed by Jeff Fowler and written by Pat Casey, Josh Miller, and John Whittington, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 features a talented cast including James Marsden, Ben Schwartz, Tika Sumpter, Colleen O'Shaughnessey, Lee Majdoub, Idris Elba, and Jim Carrey. Fans eagerly await more information about the highly anticipated sequel.
