Jim Carrey is set to play a villain in the new Sonic the Hedgehog movie.



The 56-year-old actor is reportedly in talks about taking on the role of evil Doctor Eggman Robotnik in the upcoming live action/CGI film based on Sega's video game, Deadline reports.



Last month it was revealed that James Marsden had joined the cast of the movie but details about his character are under wraps.



Though details about the production are slim, filming is reportedly set to begin in July, with it slated for release between November and December.



We can’t wait for this!
