Sonic the Hedgehog 2 won’t be Jim Carrey’s final film performance after all, as the actor will once again suit up to portray Dr. Robotnik in Sonic the Hedgehog 3. While it looked like the egomaniacal nemesis of Sonic was out for good following the supposedly fatal fall he took in the first Sonic sequel, the film did leave a backdoor open for the actor to return.

The news of Carrey’s return comes from Variety and a new teaser on social media, hinting at Robotnik’s plans for his grand return in Sonic 3. Robotnik won’t be alone in his quest for revenge, as the threequel will see the big screen debut of Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic’s edgier–and sometimes gun-wielding–counterpart.
