Prior to appearing in three Sonic mov𒐪ies, Jim Carrey famously made a point to sidestep sequels in favor♓ of trying something new.

While some exceptions exist – Dumb and Dumber To and the 1995 Ace Ventura sequel When Nature Calls are Carrey's only 🌊major follow-ups – Carrey says that his hardline stance on franchises only melted away when playing evil genius Doctor Robotn🅷ik.

"For me, at this time of my life – for some reason – I've never really wanted to do sequels. I've never really wanted to do franchise stuff. It didn't occur to me. I just thought, 'I want to move on and do something new'," Carrey says in an interview with GamesRadar+ ahead of the release of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

"Maybe six months before the first Sonic movie, I thought to myself I'd ღlike to have a character that I could sit with for a bit for a few films. Especially if it 💃could evolve, if it could change from film to film."

For Carrey, the character's transformation – and less-than-gradual mental decline – ticked all his boxes: "Robotnik has been able to evolve in his look and his manner from film to film. Every time he gets defeated, he becomes more bitter and hostile. His megalomania gets ratched 💮up and these inventions, the technological wonders that he keeps coming up with,🦂 keep topping themselves."

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 races into cin💟emas on December 20 in the US 𝓀and December 21 in the UK.
