Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Trailer Brings Back Jim Carrey’s Robotnik and Fans Love It

14.02.2020 Comment Views: 17

The first official trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 2 premiered at The Game Awards tonight and with it brought back not only Ben Schwartz’ titular hero and his sidekick Tails, but also our first look at the return of Jim Carrey as villain Dr. Robotnik. Carrey’s portrayal of the iconic video game villain was a high mark for the original movie and fans made it clear how eager they are to see him in the sequel as he’s now sporting a look that’s very close to his digital counterpart in the original series. You can find the reactions to the return of Carrey’s Eggman below!

Carrey even made a special appearance at The Game Awards in a prerecorded video, delivering an insane little message ahead of the trailer’s debut. In addition to his appearance that is much closer to the video game version of Robotnik, the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 trailer also offered a first look at Knuckles the Echnida and confirmed that the iconic Chaos Emerald will play a big part in the sequel. Idris Elba will voice Knuckles in the movie and will work alongside Carrey’s Robotnik, at least until the sequel where he’ll be a good guy, we assume. Before the trailer played Ben Schwartz introduced it, tellign the audience: “Thank you for continuing to support the blue blur.”

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 will be released on April 8, 2022.

Incomparable

That Sonic 2 Movie trailer looks so good! I’m glad they kept the VO for Tails and @idriselba sounds DAMN great as Knuckles!!

Jim Carrey is once again incomparable as Eggman (I want that outfit!)

Anyway… I’ll be back tomorrow unless they reveal something groundbreaking

Madcap Jim

I actually enjoyed the first SONIC movie. And a little bit more of a classic madcap Jim Carrey goes an awfully long way. https://t.co/4qbYiVeXwB
