Jim Carrey Wants Fat Eggman
13 Apr 2022 By Eva Araújo (Web correspondent)
Dr. Robotnik is, by far, the biggest villain Sonic has faced. In the video games, everyone knows who he is based on his look alone; no hair, big moustache and very round fat body.
Clearly in the first movie and in "Sonic the Hedgehog 2" Jim doesn't look like that but according to Jim himself he actually wanted to get to that point.
Recently, in an interview for Comicbook, the journalist asked him if "Robotnik was going to continue to evolve because he needs to see what Jim would do with that eggman…"
Jim replied:
"Honestly, I've been lobbying for the fat eggman, the big egg man, you know, kind of thing for a while but apparently they wanted to show the audience how imperfect my actual body is so they… I've done that now so you never know but there's so much fun with the look of this character you know? I really wanted to start veering toward and I lobbied hard toward like let's do the guy that they're used to seeing. That moustache is an outward manifestation of ego. He shaves his head on the mushroom planet because that's loser hair that the hair that lost the battle, man, you got to get rid of that."

If you look at the first Sonic movie as a bit of a prequel/origins story, we don't mind at all the look. It will be very cool to see an evolution of character and a physical change, gradually as normally happens.
So, bring it on! We can't wait to see Jim's Eggman look.
We at JCO will keep you updated as more news come.
