Jim Carrey’s return to Hollywood with Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has intrigued fans, as the actor had previously announced his retirement. At the London premiere, Carrey explained his decision to play the villainous Dr. Robotnik once again, saying, “I came back to this universe because, first of all, I get to play a genius, which is a bit of a stretch.
