Three new character posters have been released for Sonic the Hedgehog 2, spotlighting the titular Blue Blur alongside his best buddy Tails, and his friendly nemesis Knuckles.
Paramount Pictures debuted the latest batch of posters on Twitter ahead of the movie's theatrical release on April 8. The one-sheets showcase stylish shots of Sonic the Hedgehog 2's main trio, pairing each character with an appropriately punny tagline while offering a closer look at Sonic as well as his good buds Miles 'Tails' Prower and Knuckles the Echidna.
As the posters highlight, Ben Schwartz is returning as the voice of Sonic alongside Colleen O'Shaughnessey as Tails, and Idris Elba as Knuckles. James Marsden and Tika Sumpter are both also reprising their roles as Tom and Maddie Wachowski, while Jim Carrey is returning to star as the villainous Dr. Robotnik for the live-action adaptation of the hit Sega video game.
The upcoming sequel will see Sonic embarking on a globe-trotting journey with his loyal sidekick, Tails, to try and outrun Robotnik, now known as Dr. Eggman, as he returns from the mushroom planet with a new partner, Knuckles, in search of an emerald that can provide the power to build and destroy civilizations, spelling potential doom for the planet.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is set to be released in theaters on April 8, 2022, and the film will apparently be "chock full" of Sonic 2 game references as the sequel expected to lean more into Sega's source material than the original Sonic movie released in 2020, which was a road trip fish-out-of-water comedy that just happened to include the blue hedgehog.
IGN rated the first Sonic the Hedgehog movie a 7 out of 10, saying that the "family-friendly action-comedy suffers from a simplistic story and leans too heavily on tired visual cliches," though it is "boosted by solid performances from Ben Schwartz as Sonic and Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik" who partake in an entertaining cat-and-mouse game throughout the film.
