22 years after the release of Bruce Almighty, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is now officially Jim Carrey's highest-grossing movie
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is now Jim Carrey's highest-grossing movie of all time, overtaking previous record holder Bruce Almighty.
The latest Sonic movie has a current total of $485.7 million at the global box office, while Bruce Almighty made $484.4 million when it was released back in 2003.
Carrey plays a dual role in the movie as Dr. Ivo Robotnik (AKA Eggman) and his grandfather, Professor Gerald Robotnik. Keanu Reeves joins the franchise to voice Shadow the Hedgehog, alongside a voice cast that also includes Ben Schwartz as Sonic, Idris Elba as Knuckles, and Colleen O'Shaughnessey as Tails.
Bruce Almighty, meanwhile, saw Carrey play a TV reporter who gets the chance to try being God for a week. Directed by Ace Ventura: Pet Detective helmer Tom Shadyac, the cast also includes Morgan Freeman, Jennifer Aniston, and Steve Carrell.
Sonic 4 has been in development since December 2024 and is set for release in March 2027. Robotnik's fate was a little up in the air at the end of the threequel so Carrey's return isn't set in stone for any future movies, but that doesn't mean a potential return isn't on the cards.
"We hope that they make a zillion of these and who knows, by Sonic The Hedgehog 8… like with the Fast & Furious franchise, that's demonstrated that nobody really needs to stay dead if you don't want to," screenwriter Josh Miller told GamesRadar+ last year.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is now streaming on Paramount Plus in the US and Canada. For more, get up to speed with this year's best upcoming movies with our guide to the biggest movie release dates in 2025.

Paramount Plus slashes prices to $2 for two months
If you're looking for an affordable way to kick off your July 4th weekend, Paramount Plus has a deal worth checking out. Just in time for the July 17th premiere of the third season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, new subscribers can enjoy two months of Paramount Plus Premium (normally $12.99 per month) or Plus Essential (regularly $7.99 a month) for just $0.99 per month as part of the Summer Sale. Either deal includes all the features of the base Paramount Plus Essential plan, but the Paramount Plus Premium plan offers better value by providing extra perks at the same discounted price. Premium grants access to both Paramount Plus and Showtime, so you can stream Star Trek shows as well as Yellowstone prequels 1883 and 1923, Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Chi, Dexter, Billions, and Yellowjackets. The plan also includes a wide variety of acclaimed films, ranging from Love Me, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, and Gladiator 2, to classics like The Godfather and Pulp Fiction. Paramount Plus Premium grants you ad-free access to live sports as well as movies and shows from both platforms, including Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the Yellowstone catalog, Star Trek shows, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Twin Peaks, Dexter, and more. What's more, Paramount Plus Premium will also let you livestream the upcoming 2025 NFL season, watch 24/7 live news from CBS News, and catch UEFA Champions League matches. And unlike the base plan, Premium is ad-free and allows you to download content to your mobile device for offline viewing, making it perfect for streaming on the go. Unfortunately, after the two month promotion period ends, prices return to normal: $12.99 per month for Paramount Plus Premium or $7.99 for Plus Essential. If you'd rather not pay for either, be sure to set a reminder to cancel. Sign up for Verge Deals to get deals on products we've tested sent to your inbox weekly.

It looked normal at first, but Helldivers 2's new Major Order snuck in a big surprise: "Hulks can jump! I repeat, HULK CAN JUMP NOW!"
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. If you've not fought Heldivers 2's Automatons in a while, then I'm afraid I've got some terrible news for you. They've just launched a surprise attack and the Hulks can fly now. This is not a drill. The newest Major Order is all about tackling the "large-scale, coordinated Automaton offensive" that has "launched without warning." We may have repelled the Illuminate invasion and saved Super Earth, but our enemies are still numerous. A video posted to the official Helldivers 2 Twitter account shows a Hulk propelling itself skyward before levelling its flamethrower at the brave camera operator. I hoped it was a false alarm, but players on Reddit actually began reporting these new threats hours before the video went up. "Hulks can jump! I repeat, HULK CAN JUMP NOW!" writes one terrified, I mean valiant, Helldiver. Their video shows a Hulk leaping an impressive distance, closing the gap between them very quickly. It's almost like it was showing off to the Helldiver (who was using a jetpack) that it had one too. Hulks can jump! I repeat, HULK CAN JUMP NOW! from r/Helldivers Hulks were never slow, despite their size, and this newfound mobility just makes them even more deadly. "This is 100% real, I just checked it myself in game," one person corroborates. "The Jet Brigade got sick of people mocking it and decided to bring out the fuck you 2000," adds another. The Jet Brigade is an Automaton faction that sports jetpacks for advanced aerial maneuvers, but they've never managed to equip a Hulk with one – until now. "Bots went full Titanfall on us," writes a Redditor with exceptionally good taste, if I do say so myself. So, if you've been on shore leave since doing your tour of Super Earth, get ready to suit up and drop in, Helldiver, you're needed on the frontlines. Or, you could go AWOL and check out our list of the best online games you can play with your friends instead. You will be branded a traitor, though.
