Earlier than The Super Mario Bros. Movie was a worldwide sensation, Sonic the Hedgehog had already accomplished it twice. The first two Sonic movies grossed nearly $900 million globally so, in fact, a 3rd one is on the best way. However will the primary villain return? The reply is sure.
Variety confirms that regardless of the character seemingly dying within the second movie, Jim Carrey will return as Dr. Robotnik in Sonic the Hedgehog 3, which is set for release on December 20.

Some followers have keyed into the snigger on the finish there, considering it’d even be Shadow, however the Selection story refers to it as “Dr. Robotnik’s distinctive cackle,” so we’d think about that’s correct.
