Jim Carrey talks Robotnik's evolution in Sonic 2, and if we'll see that design continue to evolve based on the games!
✖ In the first Sonic the Hedgehog film, Jim Carrey's take on Dr. Robotnik does not immediately resemble the version that appeared in the Sega Genesis games. However, by the end of the movie, Robotnik is stranded on a mushroom-filled planet, where he shaves his head, and has his iconic mustache, setting up his appearance in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. In a new interview with ComicBook.
"I've been lobbying for the fat Eggman, the big Eggman, for a while, but apparently they wanted to show the audience how imperfect my actual body is. So, I've done that now, so you never know," said Carrey."But yeah, there's so much fun with the look of this character. I really wanted to start veering towards 'let's do the guy that they're used to seeing.' That mustache is an outward manifestation of ego.
While Carrey initially seemed like an unusual choice to portray Sonic's nemesis, the actor has clearly embraced the role, bringing Dr. Robotnik to life in a way that works quite well. A third Sonic the Hedgehog movie has already been announced by Paramount, and a series centered on Knuckles the Echidna is also set to release on Paramount+. At this time, it's unclear whether Carrey will return in either of these projects, but it seems like the actor has a lot of love for the villain.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is set to arrive in theaters on April 8th.
