Paramount Pictures has released a "Title Reveal" teaser for Sonic the Hedgehog 4, confirming that Jim Carrey will return as Dr Robotnik for the fourth live-action instalment of the franchise. The brief clip also includes a first-look moment for Metal Sonic, signalling a more direct nod to the video-game source material.
The trailer offers only a handful of seconds of new footage but makes clear that Carrey's iconic take on the villain will be back. Visuals focus on Robotnik's continued presence in the human world while a metallic silhouette and a signature spinning sound cue hint at Metal Sonic's arrival.
Carrey previously starred as Dr Robotnik in Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022), roles that helped establish the films' blend of blockbuster action and video-game references. Metal Sonic, one of the franchise's best-known antagonists, has appeared in multiple game entries and now appears poised to play a role on the big screen.
Paramount has not yet confirmed a release date or further casting details in connection with the teaser. The studio's caption for the clip framed it as a title reveal, leaving the full trailer and additional plot specifics for subsequent promotional material.
Further coverage and analysis are available at Push Square, which originally reported the trailer's release: Push Square.
