SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2 Trailer Looks Insane In The Best Way Possible; Finally Unleashes Knuckles

The first official trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 2 has arrived, and it was well worth the wait as we get our first look at footage from the sequel and Idris Elba as the fan-favorite Knuckles!

During The Game Awards, Paramount Pictures finally released the first official trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 2, which looks to take the whole premise to another level as the lovable hedgehog (Ben Schwartz) finds himself on a collision course with his greatest challenge yet: Knuckles (Idris Elba). 

The Jeff Fowler-directed sequel seems to really lean into the video game aesthetic even more than the original did, which seems like it will pay off in its favor as fans are reintroduced to some of their favorite elements and characters from the game series. 

Along with Schwartz and Elba as Sonic and Knuckles, respectively, the human cast will feature James Marsden (X-Men; Westworld), Tika Sumpter (Mixed-ishRide Along), Natasha Rothwell (Wonder Woman 1984Like a Boss), Adam Pally (Happy EndingsThe Mindy Project), Shemar Moore (Criminal MindsS.W.A.T.), Lee Majdoub (Sonic the Hedgehog; The 100), and 2x Golden Globe-winner Jim Carrey (The Truman ShowEternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) as Dr. Robotnik. 

Meanwhile, Colleen O'Shaughnessey will reprise her role as Tails. 

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is set to race into theaters on April 8, 2022. 

The world’s favorite blue hedgehog is back for a next-level adventure in SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2. After settling in Green Hills, Sonic is eager to prove he has what it takes to be a true hero. His test comes when Dr. Robotnik returns, this time with a new partner, Knuckles, in search for an emerald that has the power to destroy civilizations. Sonic teams up with his own sidekick, Tails, and together they embark on a globe-trotting journey to find the emerald before it falls into the wrong hands. From the filmmakers behind The Fast and the Furious and Deadpool, SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2 stars James Marsden, Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic, Tika Sumpter, Natasha Rothwell, Adam Pally, and Jim Carrey returning, alongside new additions Shemar Moore, with Idris Elba as the voice of Knuckles, and Colleen O'Shaughnessey as the voice of Tails.

I'm legit hyped for this after seeing that trailer.




I can't believe we went from that trailer for the first movie to this. What a world we live in.

@Mrcool210 - right! This looks kinda amazing!

Imma shoot my shot right now, feel free to screen grab this comment for my prediction...

Eggman is gonna win at the end of this film, ala Infinity War, and him betraying Knuckles after he is of no more use after he's obtained the Chaos Emerald is what leads to Knuckles teaming with Sonic and Tails for the third film with crazy Endgame stakes, in a universe taken over by Eggman.

We will probably also get Amy Rose to help them and hopefully Shadow as the main final villain.

Chaos emeralds! This looks really fun. Elba as Knuckles…chef’s kiss.

Idris Elba certainly doesn't sound like he's in the mood for a chuckle.

Dude movie looks a lot more cinematic af now, so happy that these characters are getting a chance to shine on live action. If there was a world that could work on live action, it was Sonic's. I'm ready let's go.

@tylerzero - Jim Carrey is a delight in it. Movie itself is okay.

It's still so weird to me that the one property to seemingly break the video game curse of all things is Sonic the f*cking hedgehog.

@Spidey91 - Mario gets the good games, Sonic gets the good movies.

3rd movie

Metal Sonic or Shadow
Cbmfilmjunkie
Cbmfilmjunkie - 12/9/2021, 9:08 PM
@dracula - Definitely Metal Sonic.
JosephCronos92
JosephCronos92 - 12/9/2021, 9:11 PM
@dracula - They might go with Metal Sonic in the next one, and if the movies are successful enough they continue with a second trilogy covering: Sonic Adventures I (Chaos), Sonic Adventure Battle II (Shadow and the whole Ark colony story arc) and maybe Sonic Heroes ( Metal Sonic big "unexpected" comeback). Could be fun
GhostDog
GhostDog - 12/9/2021, 9:11 PM
@dracula - we need Shadow for sure.

As for the rest of the trailer....sigh....fine, I'll watch the first one.

The first one was saved by Jim Carrey and Jim Carrey alone. I like they've added Tails and Knuckles, but will it be enough to save the second movie? Only time will tell. But they've still got their ace in the hole with Jim. Looking forward to seeing this the way I saw the last one: on streaming.

@Mrcool210 - I really enjoy their games. When I wanna play something that won’t make me throw my controller lol

@BlackBeltJones - I enjoyed their games before it went all multiple choice. I loved the BTTF and homestar runner games they made. But I've played their Batman game and despised it. Your choices in that game meant nothing. In fact some choices opened up plot holes and with the game play being a big nothing it had nothing going for it. It was bad enough I put telltale on my black list.

@BlackBeltJones - I'd rather they focused on Wolf Among Us 2, rather than divide their attention with this.

This looks great!

The first Sonic was the last movie we took our son to before covid hit. He's beyond excited for the sequel. He's probably watched the first one about 300 times haha. He's 6 now.

Looks like this will be fun.
