Jim Carrey, who was planning to retire in 2022 after starring in Sonic 2, returned to the big screen in another legendary performance.
The actor was 'pretty serious' about retiring after the second Sonic the Hedgehog sequel, but he returned for the third installment.
Director Jeff Fowler knew exactly how to persuade Carrey to reprise his part as 'Robotnik' in the next movie.
Fowler has confessed that he had the concept that the Mask actor would be unable to say no to Sonic 3.
The inventor was well aware that Jim enjoys entertaining 'young audiences', so he designed things accordingly.
While speaking with Variety, Jeff stated, "In my heart of hearts, I knew that if we provided Jim a fantastic notion and dangled the proper bait, he'd come back. He enjoys engaging younger audiences.
The Dumb and Dumber actor spoke about his comeback to the big screen, stating, "I came back to this universe because, first of all, I get to play a genius, which is a bit of a stretch."
"You know, it's just..." I bought a lot of items, and I really need the money."
Sonic the Hedgehog 3, backed by Paramount Pictures, is currently playing in theaters. So far, it has grossed $63.4 million globally.
