Jim Carrey will be retuning to the world of “Sonic the Hedgehog,” reprising his role as series villain Dr. Robotnik in the third “Sonic” movie.
Directed by Jeff Fowler, the movie is set to premiere on Dec. 20 of this year, TheWrap confirmed Friday. Neal H. Moritz, Toby Ascher, Toru Nakahara and Hitoshi Okuno will produce, and Pat Casey, Josh Miller and John Whittington are credited as writers of the project.
“Sonic the Hedgehog 2” ended with Carrey’s Dr. Robotnik falling from a giant robot. The post-credits scene confirmed that after the fight was over, his body wasn’t recovered. A GUN agent even says, “Nobody could have survived that fall.”
