Earlier today, Twitter user SEGAbits posted this "rumored" photo of Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik in the new live-action Sonic the Hedgehog movie. Polygon has confirmed that this photo is indeed true as they have already seen trailers for the movie.
But there’s no rumor about it. Polygon can confirm that that’s Robotnik as seen in footage from previously screened trailers for Sonic the Hedgehog. It’s legit. Reportedly, Robotnik’s look will change over the course of the film, with the leaked image representing the villain at his most normal.
The official trailer is set to be released tomorrow (4/30/2019) and the movie is slated to hit movie theaters November 9th, 2019.

I can’t wait to see Sonic the Hedgehog and this new depiction of Dr Robotnik. Not a man scorned, a dark tragic past, or secretly trying to help. No.
