Could Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Be Jim Carrey’s Last Film?

[Peter Paltridge]

As weird as this sounds, Jim Carrey’s portrayal of the villain Robotnik in Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (opening in one week!) could be the very last appearance from him in an acting role. Mr. Carrey implied as much during an interview with Access Hollywood that aired this week.
According to Variety, Carrey is reported as saying “Well, I’m retiring. Yeah, probably. I’m being fairly serious.” When pressed further, he replied “It depends.

If he does retire, and a new Robotnik is required for the third Sonic film,

I am going to Miss him because I grew up enjoying his movies both comedies and drama. The Truman show is the greatest movie I had ever watched in my life. People only knows him for his comedy but he is such a versatile actor.

It is better to retire while you are in Your prime and your body is in tip-top shape. You want people to remember you at your best.

If you guys miss him, You can still watch his older movies and have a Jim Carey marathon. He has a Filmography to be proud of, except for "The Number 23" (I don't like that movie)

This should not be Jim's latest movie. He can't end his great career as villan. He should get some other, main role as good guy.
