Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is currently filming in Metro Vancouver and Canada-born actor Jim Carrey was spotted on set this week.
The funnyman stars as Robotnik in the film franchise's second instalment. The first film, Sonic the Hedgehog (2020), was about a "small-town police officer" who teams up with a blue, lightning-fast, extraterrestrial hedgehog to "defeat an evil genius who wants to do experiments" on the space critter, according to .
The film also stars James Marsden, Ben Schwartz, Lee Majdoub and Tika Sumpter.
Filming takes place this week in Fort Langley and a Metro Vancouverite took to Twitter Monday (April 19) to say that Jim Carrey was on set filming a stunt scene.
