Several months ago, it was revealed that the forthcomingSonic the Hedgehogmovie had cast the likes ofJim Carreyto play the role of the Blue Blur’s long-time adversary, Dr. Robotnik, leading many to wonder how the film would portray the villain. While Paramount Pictures has yet to reveal how the star ofEternal Sunshine of the Spotless MindandThe Truman Showwill look while playing the part, one fan has decided to take it upon themselves to create a mock-up poster of what the actor could be like as Eggman.
Thanks to the work of the Instagram user and artist known as William Gray, fans in eager anticipation for theSonic the Hedgehogmovie can get a gander of what Carrey might look like in the movie with Robotnik’s bald head, arm-less eyeglasses, and his pointy red mustache. What’s more is that Gray even used Photoshop to depict the real-life version of Eggman in a red coat reminiscent of theSonicantagonist’s crimson-hued getup from the games.
While William Gray’s rendition of Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik is decidedly well-done, it must be noted that there’s still no telling exactly how he will be portrayed in the actualSonic the Hedgehogmotion picture. As of now, Paramount hasn’t even offered up an official idea of what Sonic himself will look like, save for arumored movie poster leakshowing the Fastest Thing Alive lounging atop a police cruiser.
All things considered, it will definitely be interesting to see how the forthcomingSonic the Hedgehogmovie will handle both Sonic and Robotnik’s on-screen appearances, especially after thefan backlash that ensuedfollowing the reveal of Sonic’s anthropomorphic features. Of course, since there’s still a ways to go until Paramount releases the first full trailer for the film, we will simply have to wait and see what the project has in store for its hero and villain.
TheSonic the Hedgehogmovie is currently scheduled for a theatrical release on July 25, 2025.
