"Mom, He Looks Like Me": Sonic the Hedgehog 3's Lee Majdoub on the Importance of Representation

Описание: Audiences continue to pile into the theater for the Sonic the Hedgehog film series. Sonic and the gang are animated beautifully and bring the high-octane action. Tom and Maddie Wachowski (James Marsden and Tika Sumpter) offer heart and warmth to the series, but it’s the hilarious relationship between Dr. Ivo Robotnik (Jim Carrey) and Agent Stone, played by Lee Majdoub that remains bedrock to the series and a massive attraction for returning (and brand new) viewers of the series. Majdoub is back for the third installment, portraying Agent Stone in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and having the time of his life playing with the one and only Jim Carrey.

In Jeff Fowler’s latest chapter of the Sonic Saga, Sonic (Ben Schwartz), Tails (Colleen O’Shaughnessy), and Knuckles (Idris Elba) must unite against a mysterious and wildly powerful new enemy, Shadow the Hedgehog (Keanu Reeves), a former military experiment that has escaped containment. Now, Sonic and the gang are going to have to rope in their familiar foe, Dr. Ivo Robotnik to help them save the planet and stop Shadow.

Majdoub was kind enough to sit down with Collider’s own Steve Weintraub to talk all things Sonic 3 after the UK premiere. In this interview, Majdoub discusses working with living legend Jim Carrey, the importance of Agent Stone’s representation throughout the series, and which Mel Brooks movie he wishes he could have starred in.
