Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Director on Jim Carrey's Return
While recently addressing the return of several characters for the film, Fowler specifically took the time to share an interesting insight into the return of Carrey, who had been on the fence about remaining in the industry. Speaking to GamesRadar+, he explains, "I mean, not only did he come back, he came back and did twice as much work. We printed it out with 24-carat ink and delivered it to his doorstep. For him to create a whole new character within the world was certainly an exciting opportunity, and he just went all in."
The filmmaker's sentiment certainly highlights the immense effort and creativity that went into this current storyline for Dr. Robotnik. While Robotnik is sure to be a key piece of the film's inevitable success, it's impossible to ignore the fact that this film is already stacked with plenty of exciting additions to keep audiences invested from start to finish.
The highly anticipated Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is set to hit theaters on December 20, 2024.
