Sonic The Hedgehog 2 is speeding into the promotional game with the release of a new poster and the announcement that the official trailer launches tomorrow!
The trailer will be dropped during The Game Awards which will feature an appearance from Jim Carrey (Dr. Robotnik) and Ben Schwartz (voice of Sonic). The festivities begin tomorrow, December 9, beginning at 5:00 pm PT/8:00 pm ET. You can check out the new poster for the film below!
The release of the poster and news of the trailer drop is fresh off the news that Colleen O’Shaughnessey will be voicing her “old pal Tails” in the sequel. She’s voiced Tails since 2014 and was the only original voice-actor to reprise their role for the movie. Colleen joins the other new vocal addition which features Idria Elba as the voice of the fan-favorite character, Knuckles.
Sonic The Hedgehog 2 is once again directed by Jeff Fowler and stars James Marsden, Ben Schwartz, Tika Sumpter, Natasha Rothwell, Adam Pally, Shemar Moore, Colleen O’Shaughnessey, Idris Elba, and Jim Carrey. The first Sonic The Hedgehog had quite the road to financial success which began with widespread negativity following the first trailer for the film that led to fan backlash and the film being delayed from its initial release date. Being that video game films tend to be a bust at the box office and with critics, all signs pointed to Sonic being DOA but the film was greeted with a positive reception, with Jim Carrey’s portrayal of Dr. Robotnik getting notable praise. Sonic The Hedgehog also had the distinction of being one of the final notable films to play without much interruption in theaters before the COVID-19 pandemic delayed every major title that followed in 2020. The film ultimately grossed $148.9 million at the domestic box office and $319.7 million worldwide.
