Cena would later apologize for this disposition after pursuing a film career of his own, acknowledging that he didn't make the effort to view things from Johnson's perspective.

Trivia: Following the release of "Sonic the Hedgehog 2", co-star Jim Carrey stated that he was considering retiring from acting, as he felt he had "done enough" in the film industry and was becoming somewhat burned out. However, he eventually agreed to star in this film because he loves playing the evil-genius Dr. Robotnik. Carrey also laughingly admitted that the huge paycheck he got was one of the deciding factors, especially because he "buys a lot of stuff."

Trivia: Before release, the film became symbolic of a strange issue for cinema-goers, with many cinemas stating that singing along with the film wasn't allowed as it's disruptive to other people who came to watch the movie. "Wicked" co-star Cynthia Erivo and action-movie star Dwayne Johnson stated that they support singing along with movies, drawing extremely mixed responses, with some praising them, but many more harshly criticizing them for supporting behaviour that could be seen as extremely rude.
