Sonic and Knuckles get ready to fight in Paramount’s brand new Super Bowl spot.
The big game is almost here and Paramount is pulling out all the stops to get fans ready for Sonic the Hedgehog 2. After the surprising success of the first film, Paramount quickly commissioned a sequel that would see Sonic meeting up with other familiar characters, such as Tails. Filmed completely during the COVID-19 pandemic, production on the Sega-based character’s sequel has wrapped up.
Like most sequels, Sonic’s second outing is set to be bigger and better all thanks to a new villain. This time, our favorite hedgehog is set to go up against Knuckles, who proves to be quite the worthy foe. Voiced by Idris Elba, Knuckles is working alongside Jim Carrey’s Dr. Robotnik, who has finally transitioned into his video-game accurate look.
