Regarding his retirement, the actor said “You can’t be definite about these things. Because as soon as a good idea comes your way, or a group of people you really enjoy working with, things tend to change.”

In 2022, when the Bruce Almighty star was promoting the sequel to Sonic the Hedgehog, Jim said he was retiring from acting.

In a throwback interview with Access Hollywood, as reported by Deadline, the actor had said, “I’m being fairly serious. It depends. If the angels bring some sort of script that’s written in gold ink, that says to me that it’s going to be really important for people to see, I might continue down the road. But I’m taking a break.”

Earlier, Jim also told Comicbook that he would be open to reprising his role from How the Grinch Stole Christmas and also welcomes the idea of making a sequel to The Mask.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 opens in US theaters on December 20. The third instalment of the action-adventure film has Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles facing a mysterious adversary known as Shadow the Hedgehog and are forced to form an unlikely alliance with villain Dr Robotnik.

When asked about what he said in 2022 at the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 London premiere on December 10, Jim responded, “That might have been hyperbole.”

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will be released in theatres across the US on December 20. The third episode of the action-adventure film pits Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles against a mystery enemy known as Shadow the Hedgehog, forcing them to establish an odd alliance with evil Dr Robotnik.
