A final trailer is out for Paramount Pictures’ Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Following 2020’s debut release, the action-comedy sees Ben Schwartz return as the voice of Sonic.
Alongside Schwartz, the trailer gave viewers a preview of some new additions to the voice cast. Colleen O’Shaughnessey will once again appear as Tails, the only voice cast member to reprise her role from the original Sega game franchise, while Idris Elba has signed on to the sequel, voicing Knuckles the Echidna. In the live-action cast, James Marsden plays Tom Wachowski, a local sheriff of Green Hills, Montana and Sonic’s friend. Jim Carrey has taken on the part of mad scientist Dr. Ivo Robotnik, also known as Eggman.
In the video, Sonic faces off with his Eggman once again. The evil doctor has returned from the planet he was banished to, this time, with his new partner Knuckles in tow. As Eggman and Knuckles search for an emerald that will grant them the power to build and destroy civilizations, Sonic and Tails head on a journey to find the emerald before it falls into the wrong hands.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is directed by Jeff Fowler and written by Pat Casey, Josh Miller and John Whittington. The film is out in theaters on April 8.
In other entertainment news, Kid Cudi will star in the Brittany Snow-directed September 17th film.
