The first live-action Sonic movie doesn't feel that long ago, but Paramount and SEGA are getting ready to roll out the red carpet for Sonic the Hedgehog 2. The sequel, which introduces Tails (Colleen O'Shaughnessey) and Knuckles (Idris Elba) into the story, debuts in cinemas on 8th April, and the final trailer for the flick has just been released.
The film follows on from where the first leaves off. Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) makes his return, this time allied with the aforementioned bright red echidna, fighting for control of a chaos emerald. It'll fall to Sonic (Ben Schwartz), Tom (James Marsden) and the rest of his pals to stop the baddies with the power of friendship, or something. It looks like it'll be a more action-packed movie than the last one, although the trailer shows it'll still make time for some goofy jokes.
In related news, we just wanted to share this movie poster, which echoes the cover art of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, as in the Mega Drive game:
That ought to tickle the nostalgia bones of a subset of people in their early 30s.
Anyway, are you excited for Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (the movie)? Gotta type fast in the comments section below.

Looking forwards to this, really enjoyed the 1st film & Jim Carrey was hilarious in it.
Also us in the late 30’s…
I plan on going to see this assuming it's going to be available at the Cinema where I live here in Ireland. As a person who like Pokèmon grew up with Sonic since day one across all Platforms I'm extremely excited for this movie.
@Martin_C And early 40s! 😂
This looks good 😃
Looks incredible!! Loving all the Sonic Adventure stuff in there!
I really enjoyed the first movie, and this looks good too! This should be standard for video game adaptations.
still can’t believe we’re in a time that the movie(s) is most likely better than the games 😞
though that’s not saying much heh ..
Eh, it looks fun to me.
Hmm...Tails sounds on point, but I'm not so sure about the voice of Sonic. Somehow too whiney for me! Didn't see the 1st film though, just going off the recent Team Racing experience a la Plus.
You mean tickle the nostalgia bones of people in their early 40s

Beat sonic voice actor was whoever did the English work for the Sonic OVA, which we got as a condensed version simply called Sonic the Hedgehog The Movie.
Mainly because it was so terrible that it was amazing.
Super excited to see this sequel, the first film was really enjoyable.
I want the poster as I hug my Sega Genesis.
