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.
