Sonic the Hedgehog 3 won't recast the role of Dr. Robotnik if Jim Carrey retires, and it's actually the only reasonable way to continue the franchise. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 producers Neal H. Moritz and Toby Ascher have confirmed that they won't recast Dr.

Though they haven't indicated what their alternative plan would be if he doesn't return, they have confirmed that the 2024 threequel, and any other sequels, would not recast Robotnik.

Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles' events are canon. Sonic 3 & Knuckles isn't because it was intended to be a bonus for owners of both games.

Sonic The Hedgehog 3 is set to star Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic, with James Marsden as Tom Wachowski, a small-town police officer, and Sonic's friend, Tika Sumpter as Tom's wife, Maddie. They'll be joined by returning Tails, voiced by the game's Colleen O'Shaughnessey, and Knuckles, voiced by Idris Elba.
