Less than two months before the release of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is already in development. The announcement was made during a Viacom Investor Event by the President and CEO of Paramount Pictures & Nickelodeon, Brian Robbins.

The Sonic the Hedgehog film series is based on the fan-favorite video game franchise from Sega. The series follows the adventures of the world’s fastest blue hedgehog as he runs around saving the world from the evil Dr. Robotnik and other villains, and has spanned a number of video games, animated shows, and comic books. The 2020 movie, however, was the first attempt at a live-action adaptation of the franchise, and was by all accounts a huge success, making over $300 million at the box office and getting its sequel greenlit only months after its release.

The original film starred Ben Schwartz as the voice of the titular blue hedgehog, Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik, and James Marsden as Sonic’s human friend who helps him out in the film. The upcoming sequel is set to add two fan-favorite characters, with Colleen O’Shaughnessey as Sonic’s fox friend Miles “Tails” Prower and, to everyone’s surprise, Idris Elba as Knuckles the Echidna.

Actor James Marsden, who is known for his role as Cyclops in the “X-Men” movie franchise, in May paid an amount likely around $1.8 million for a five-bedroom, 5,160-square-foot house in the Commons Ford area of Austin.

In December 2020, Marsden, 48, told Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest, the hosts of “Live with Kelly and Ryan,” that he had moved to Austin several months earlier, and added that he was renting a home at the time.

“I love it,” he told the show’s hosts, referring to Austin. “I’ve been coming here for 20 years. I have some friends here. I grew up in Oklahoma, all my family’s still there.”

James Marsden has had many memorable film and TV roles during his almost 30-year career – there’s The Notebook, The X-Men series and Westworld, to name a few – but the actor shared with us that he turned down what could have been his most popular film yet: Magic Mike.

The 48-year-old, who is currently starring in The Boss Baby 2: Family Business, revealed to Yahoo Lifestyle he was “too scared” to go through with the role, admitting it was a “tough” decision for him.

“It was a tough one for me because I was offered the role, and I decided not to do it because it felt like something that could have been cut out of the movie,” he told us. “And I was too scared that they would just cut my couple of scenes and I would still be in the movie as a pretty much naked extra, right?

Four years after an infant Alec Baldwin steered Dreamworks’ The Boss Baby to over half a billion dollars at the global box office and an Academy Award nomination for Best Animated feature, the troublesome tyke is back in The Boss Baby: Family Business, and he’s bringing his household along for the ride.

Joining Baldwin and fellow returning voice talents Jimmy Kimmel and Lisa Kudrow is James Marsden, the actor voicing the character of Tim, the adult (but for too long) father at the centre of the latest shenanigans. As the film prepares for its Australian release, the actor chatted with our own Peter Gray about how being a father influences his roles, how it was to record during a pandemic, and where he sits with the streaming vs. cinema debate.

I will say one thing about The Boss Baby 2 in that it embraces such random, wild humour, and I really do mean that in the best possible way. It goes for it, in terms of its premise. How did you become involved with it?
