Collider has unveiled an exclusive deleted scene from Sonic the Hedgehog 3 that highlights Jim Carrey’s comedic brilliance in a wildly chaotic and imaginative setup. In the scene, Carrey portrays both Dr. Ivo Robotnik and his “grandpappy,” Gerald Robotnik, during a hilariously bizarre VR bonding session. The sequence amplifies Carrey’s signature over-the-top facial expressions and dynamic energy, offering fans another memorable comedic moment to treasure.
Directed by Jeff Fowler, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has become a resounding success, bringing back fan-favorite cast members Ben Schwartz (Sonic), Idris Elba (Knuckles), and Colleen O’Shaughnessey (Tails), while Keanu Reeves’ debut as Shadow the Hedgehog has introduced a darker, more emotional dimension to the franchise. Reeves’ portrayal of Shadow has been particularly lauded for its brooding and introspective tone, providing a stark contrast to the lighthearted camaraderie of Team Sonic.
The movie has earned widespread acclaim, achieving $422 million globally at the box office and a remarkable 96% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes—the highest in the franchise. Critics and audiences have celebrated its perfect blend of humor, action, and heartfelt storytelling, which earned the film a Certified Fresh rating and an A CinemaScore.
