SONIC THE HEDGEHOG: First Look At Jim Carrey As Robotnik In The Upcoming Movie Leaks Online

Rumour has it that the first Sonic the Hedgehog trailer will be released later today, but a leaked image has started doing the rounds which offers a first look at Jim Carrey suited up as the evil Robotnik.

He looks the part (mostly), and it's easy enough to imagine him stealing the show here with one of his trademark zany performances. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be a lot of goodwill surrounding the movie as of right now, especially after the big unveiling of Sonic was met with ridicule. 

That doesn't mean this movie won't be a hit, of course, and it will be interesting to actually see Sonic in action if we do get that trailer later on. 

It's been said that Detective Pikachu successfully breaks the video game curse, but whether Sonic the Hedgehog will keep that trend going is another matter altogether. What do you guys think of this first look at Robotnik? Let us know your thoughts on that in the comments section below.

Eh. I hear he becomes more like his video fame counterpart later. I'm sure Jim Carey will go full on wacky in this

@GreedoSarducci - I've had that feelimg from the get-go. Seems like the producers have no idea how to translate this ip to the screen (not that it needed to be anyway).

I think there’s an Opportunity for this to be unexpectedly fun. Probably with some unique visuals too

@AFriendFromWork - I agree. Hopefully the video game curse will be broken to a certain degree at least

@MyCoolYoung - I think it is slowly being undone, Tomb Raider was pretty good plus Detective Pikachu is looking like it will really break it.

@Illium - I wouldn’t have it any other way. I saw into the spider verse just like this. Highly recommend

@dracula - unless he just loves to eat eggs... I always preferred when they changed it to Dr. Robotnik anyway. Felt more menacing.

Hmmm... ok. I personally was hoping for a Grinch like body suit and makeup job to bring him to life, but this isnt... well I've seen worse. I guess it will ultimately be up to the quality of his performance. I'll give him a chance. But I'm not loving this.

Apart from the costume, he could be back in Me, Myself and Irene. This film has failure written all over it!!!

@Unionjack - Say what you want, but the family relationship was funny as hell.

Unionjack - 4/30/2019, 2:52 AM
@MosquitoFarmer - I love that film, but in this day and age, you cant make Jim Carrey look less Jim and more Dr Robotnik!!
MosquitoFarmer
MosquitoFarmer - 4/30/2019, 2:55 AM
@Unionjack - True. And at one point he was supposed to play Curly in the Farrelly Brothes' Three Stooges movie. Alongside Benicio Del Toro and Sean Penn no less!

That ‘stache makes me think of Jack Lemmon in 1965’s The Great Race.

I have a feeling that this film will only be watchable because of Jim Carrey.
