Summary

  • Sonic the Hedgehog 3 received critical acclaim, with fans praising the casting, especially Jim Carrey’s performance as Dr. Robotnik.
  • The writers dropped hints about their love for Ryan Reynolds in the film, referencing Pokémon: Detective Pikachu and Green Lantern.
  • Reynolds could potentially join Sonic 4 as Silver, a character that would benefit from his wit, humor, and emotional depth.

As a seasoned movie critic with a soft spot for nostalgic reboots and witty performances, I must say that Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has left me thoroughly entertained. The film’s charm lies in its clever writing, engaging characters, and the impeccable casting of Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik.

It’s not surprising that a fourth Sonic the Hedgehog movie has been approved given its reputation as the “standout” in the trilogy. Yet, it was intriguing to note in the latest film that the screenwriters seemed particularly fond of a Marvel Cinematic Universe actor.

The voice casting for “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” was widely acclaimed, with fans applauding Keanu Reeves’ portrayal of Shadow, the villain, in the latest movie. Many were also delighted with the ensemble featuring Ben Schwartz (Sonic), Colleen O’ Shaughnessey (Miles “Tails” Prower) and Idris Elba (Knuckles). Particularly noteworthy was Jim Carrey’s performance as Dr. Ivo “Eggman” Robotnik, Sonic’s arch-nemesis, which garnered positive feedback from the audience. The third film’s success paved the way for the production of “Sonic 4.” Interestingly, the third movie hinted at potential involvement of an MCU actor in the next installment.

In the movie “Sonic the Hedgehog 3,” the script subtly revealed the writers’ admiration for Ryan Reynolds, as suggested by ScreenRant. The dialogue in the film contained allusions to Reynolds’ career, with two specific references. The first was a discussion about Detective Pokémon and Pokemon, which Reynolds voiced in the 2019 live-action film “Pokémon: Detective Pikachu.” Although it might have been coincidental, it was hard not to associate this mention with Reynolds. The second allusion was undeniably a nod towards Reynolds’ role in the upcoming movie “Spirited.

As a movie enthusiast, I can’t help but chuckle when Sonic brings up the 2011 Green Lantern movie, starring Ryan Reynolds. In that particular scene, Sonic humorously compares Gerald Robotnik’s colossal hand, designed with nanotech, to the oversized green fist from Reynolds’ DC superhero film. It’s clear he’s referring to Reynolds, and his comment could be seen as a subtle jab at the movie, which didn’t exactly set the box office on fire; even Reynolds himself has poked fun at it. In an intriguing interview with Hugh Jackman for Vanity Fair, Jackman asked Reynolds if he ever watched Green Lantern with his family, given that his wife, Blake Lively, was his on-screen love interest in the movie. Reynolds humorously responded, “I’d rather endure a 24-hour marathon of Paw Patrol, but I haven’t watched it as a family yet. My kids have seen the trailer.” So, it seems Ryan Reynolds isn’t exactly a fan of Green Lantern, either.

It’s unclear if Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is satirizing Ryan Reynolds’ Green Lantern role or paying tribute to the actor, but one thing is certain: Reynolds would be an excellent fit for Sonic 4. Reynolds could portray Silver, a white-furred hedgehog who possesses psychokinetic abilities. Silver is known for his noble, determined, and somewhat naive nature. Reynolds’ quick wit and humor would add a comedic edge to Silver’s often serious demeanor. Additionally, Reynolds has demonstrated his ability to infuse his roles with emotional depth, making him a suitable choice for Silver, who grapples with self-doubt and moral dilemmas. Reynolds showcased this talent in recent films like The Adam Project and Free Guy. Silver is a complex character due to his status as a time traveler from a dystopian future. Reynolds’ skillful handling of dialogue could bring out this intricacy.
