A new teaser trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 4 has confirmed Jim Carrey’s return as Dr. Robotnik.
The teaser, below, starts with Amy’s hammer breaking through a material to reveal the Chaos Emeralds. We then hear Carrey as Robotnik say: “You think your world is safe, but your time is about to run out. The chaos has only just begun.”
In the emeralds we see images of the various characters set to appear in the movie, including Ben Schwartz’s Sonic, the aforementioned Dr. Robotnik, Idris Elba’s Knuckles, Colleen O'Shaughnessey’s Tails, Keanu Reeves’ Shadow, James Marsden and Tika Sumpter as Tom and Maddie Wachowski, Kristen Bell’s Amy Rose, and Metal Sonic, who was teased at the end of Sonic 3. Fans have already picked up on the Sonic Boom reference.
Sonic 4 will also star Ben Kingsley, Nick Offerman, Richard Ayoade, and Matt Berry in currently undisclosed roles. But Carrey’s return here is of particular interest, given the legendary actor has repeatedly suggested he’s either ready to or has actually retired from acting. And then there was that whole weird Jim Carrey clone business, which went viral earlier this year.
In 2022, the 64-year-old Hollywood legend said he was considering retiring after starring in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. “Well, I’m retiring,” he said. “Yeah, probably. I’m being fairly serious. It depends. If the angels bring some sort of script that’s written in gold ink that says to me that it’s going to be really important for people to see, I might continue down the road, but I’m taking a break.”
