Idris Elba Plays Knuckles in the Sonic Movie Sequel, Everyone

I think they should have used the original voice actors instead of celebrities.

Some poor echidna isn’t going to be able to feed his prickly little family because of this outrageous decision.

Here I come, rougher than the rest of them
the best of them, tougher than leather.
You can call me Knuckles, unlike Sonic I don't chuckle
I'd rather flex my muscles
I'm hard as nails, it ain't hard to tell
I break'em down whether they're solid or frail.
Unlike the rest I'm independent
It's my first breath, first test
first the right then the worst left

Born on an island in the heavens
The blood of my ancestors flows inside me
My duty is to save the flower from evil deterioration

I will be the one to set your heart free, true
Cleanse yourself of that them spirits that's you

Streaking lights, loud sounds, and instinct
Are the elements that keep me going
I am fighting my own mission
Nothing's gonna stand in my way

I will be the one to set your heart free, true
Cleanse yourself of them evil spirits that's you

Won't be frightened I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil
Just believe in myself won't rely on others

Get this power to wipe out the havoc and anarchy
This is my planet gonna fight for my destiny

(Chorus)
Here I come, rougher than the rest of them
the best of them, tougher than leather.
You can call me Knuckles, unlike Sonic I don't chuckle
I'd rather flex my muscles
I'm hard as nails, it ain't hard to tell
I break'em down whether they're solid or frail.
Unlike the rest I'm independent
It's my first breath, first test
first the right then the worst left

I have no such things as weak spots
Don't approve of him but gotta trust him
This alliance has a purpose
This partnership is only temporary

I will be the one to set your heart free,true
Cleanse yourself of evil spirits that got in you

Won't be frightened I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil
Just believe in myself won't rely on others

Freedom will be waiting when serenity is restored
This is my planet I shall not surrender

Won't be frightened I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil
Just believe in myself won't rely on others

Get this power to wipe out the havoc and anarchy
This is my planet gonna fight

Won't be frightened I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil
Just believe in myself won't rely on others

Freedom will be waiting when serenity is restored
This is my planet I shall not surrender

(Yeah, Shall not surrender no, yeah woo woo)

The new porcupine on the block with the buff chest
Outta the wilderness with the ruggedness
Knock, knock, it's Knuckles, the bloat thrower
Independent flower
Magical emerald holder
Give you the coldest shoulder
My spike goes through boulders
That's why I stay a loner
I was born by myself
I don't need a posse, I get it on by myself
Adversaries get shelved

He can’t talk British or Australia.

@nessisonett You type that all out from memory? 😁

I'm down. Maybe Sonic can visit what's left of Asgard now.

@rjejr It’s tattooed on my back.

"Oi mate, this robotnik geezer is coming round to mess us up! Hopefully I can sell him a Sky Q subscription when he gets here!"

(Apologies if you've already read this comment from me on Nintendo life)

@nessisonett Is it plain to read or did you hide it like Prison Break? Maybe in the code for Sonic 06? 🤣

Now give me Shadow The Hedgehog please ! (

@rjejr It’s hidden using subliminal messaging so that you see it in your dreams. You’ll be lying there in bed and all of a sudden it comes to you…

You can call me Knuckles, unlike Sonic I don't chuckle

@nessisonett If your tattooed back comes to me in a dream I'm running, not reading. 😁

I love how he announced he is Knuckles by showing Knuckles...knuckle. What a knucklehead! Looking forward to the movie!

So will Amy and Tails be in this movie too lol?

@QBGaming12 Tails already is…

Spoiler Alert but did you watch the first movie?

The first movie is good, and a rare one where the movie studio took fans advice seriously and change the sonic design, I think the sequel will be a good movie too 😃

Roll on April

Why are they all the same.

Please give us the Sonic 3 storyline where Robotnik tricks Knuckles, and then tries to kill him many levels later.

Are Sonic's arms still blue though?

Knuckles is a tough badass so this is a match to my eyes (ears?)

@nessisonett knuckles race isn't just unknown from him it's unknown from M.E

@lolwhatno It being a marketing stunt makes less sense than the usual Hollywood execs not really getting the material (many such cases!). It's easy to see how they came to that design after deciding to make a more "realistic" design to fit with the live action setting. It would also be cheaper to use the human proportions so they can moral the while thing as opposed to the more animated final design.

@nessisonett Hmm, is that it? Can you think of someting more to say? 😂
