Sonic the Hedgehog: Jim Carrey Talks Dr. Robotnik, Improv, and Antics in Exclusive Clip

In case you missed it, Sonic the Hedgehog is available today on digital thanks to an early release due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, with a physical release set for May 19th. As part of the release today, ComicBook.com has been provided with an exclusive clip of Jim Carrey (who plays Dr. Robotnik) and James Marsden (who plays Tom Wachowski) talking behind the scenes about improv, working together, and making everything more fun.

“I’m a big proponent of working it and working it and working it, and coming in with 20 ideas,” Carrey says in the exclusive clip, “and the director will go, ‘Just throw them out, see what happens.’”

“It is a joy to be on the receiving end of all of Jim’s antics,” Marden adds. You can check out the full clip at the top of the article!
