Update: IGN has revealed several new additions to the cast of the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie.
Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones, Breaking Bad, Veronica Mars) leads the charge here, with many fans suspecting that she will play the role of Rouge the Bat in the upcoming movie. Alyla Browne (Three Thousand Years of Longing, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga) joins the cast, too, and is rumoured to be playing Maria, Shadow’s human friend and the cousin of Dr. Robotnik in Sonic Adventure 2.
Other names include Sofia Pernas (Blood & Treasure, Jane the Virgin), James Wolk (The Crazy Ones, Mad Men, Watchmen), Cristo Fernández (Ted Lasso, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts), and Jorma Taccone (The Lonely Island comedy trio, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse),
Their roles haven’t been confirmed, so besides the speculation and rumours above, we don’t know who they’ll be playing, or whether they’ll be voices or on-screen. The big question still remains, though — who voices Shadow? We’ll say it again — the Super Bowl seems like the right time to announce that.

Original article: Jim Carrey is back as Dr. Robotnik in the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie, Variety has revealed.
Today, the day of the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis’ Sonic the Hedgehog 3‘s 30th anniversary, Variety broke the news alongside the official Sonic movie Twitter account revealing a little teaser for the movie.
The comedic actor announced back in 2022 that he was considering retirement, saying “I have enough. I’ve done enough. I am enough.” (via Variety) But in the same interview, he did say “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”. We guess Sonic 3 is that gold ink script, then!
Carrey’s depiction of Robotnik has been popular with fans of the games and the movies, and we’re excited to see how he continues to portray Sonic’s long-time enemy.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is set to feature both the blue blur and the ultimate life form, Shadow the Hedgehog, who made his debut in Sonic Adventure 2. And if you’ve got a good pair of ears on you, the teaser features a rather awesome rearrangement of a famous Sonic tune. Sing it with us… Live and Leaaaarrrn~.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 got a trailer at the 2022 Super Bowl, and with this year’s huge sporting event taking place on Sunday 11th February, we’ll surely get our first proper look at the movie very soon.
This year is looking to be a pretty big year for Shadow, too. Earlier this week, Sega confirmed that Sonic Generations is making a return in Sonic X Shadow Generations, which launches in Fall 2024.
