Many were surprised by Jim Carrey returning from soft retirement for his double role inSonic the Hedgehog 3as the villainous Dr. Robotnik and his even more villainous grandfather, Gerald Robotnik. And though some may have assumed that that would have been his final hurrah, as it turns out, the actor still may not be fully done with theSonicfranchise quite yet.Speaking in an interview with Cinema Today (spotted by @sonicstadium on Twitter), Carrey said that he remains open to the idea of returning to once again play Dr. Ivo Robotnik in futureSonic the Hedgehogmovies- depending, of course, on whether hes interested in the ideas presented to him.Im definitely open. Im open to the idea, he said. Generally, they come to me with the next idea, and if I go, that sounds fun, then Ill do it. I dont feel locked to anything in life unless its something that interests me.I certainly love this crew, Carrey added. I love this gang that makes these movies, and I love the fans. I think theres a lot of really great energy around it.Sonic the Hedgehog 3launched in theaters worldwide last month, and has enjoyed critical and commercia success since then. Shortly prior to its release, Sega and Paramount Pictures announced that a fourthSonicmovie had also been officially greenlit, and is due out in 2027.BREAKING: In an interview with the Japanese news site @cinematoday, Jim Carrey has confirmed that he is open to coming back for #SonicMovie4, and that hes not retiring but power napping between projects. #SonicNews #SonicMovie3 pic.twitter.com/qhcbIy3SnZ The Sonic Stadium 25 YEARS OF SONIC NEWS (@sonicstadium) January 3, 2025
