'Sonic the Hedgehog 2's first trailer introduces Tails, Knuckles, and Dr. Robotnik's new 'stache

I hope it keeps getting bigger.

The first trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 2 just premiered at The Game Awards 2020, and it seems the speedy blue mammal hasn't slowed down. However, some new characters might give him a run for his money.

Set after the events of 2020's Sonic the Hedgehog, the sequel's trailer shows Sonic (voiced by Ben Schwartz) causing restless havoc until Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) and his upgraded moustache return in search of a powerful, potentially destructive emerald. However he isn't alone, bringing with him Knuckles the Echidna (voiced by Idris Elba).

Fortunately Sonic has allies as well, the trailer also seeing the return of James Marsden as Sonic's beleaguered friend Sheriff Wachowski, and the introduction of two-tailed fox Tails (voiced by Colleen O'Shaughnessey, reprising her role from the games).

Sonic the Hedgehog will cross the finish line on Apr. 8.

  1. When the people behind something actually listens to the audience, it makes me want to support them and all their efforts regardless of bad or good. This looks great though.

    1. Agreed. It would seem they took the lessons they learned from the first movie and kept those principles in place moving forward.

  2. Credit where it's due this looks like a faithful transition of both Tails and Knuckles from the game to film! Well done all involved :)

  3. I'm actually very impressed by the sonic movies. I never knew Jim would make such an interesting and pretty much perfect robotnik. I hope he sticks around for a few more movies!

    Also knuckles sounds fantastic.

    ReplyDelete
  4. The fact that knuckles is starting as a threat, is SO GREAT. They took this out of the Sonic 3 & Knuckles Storyline (and the storyline for that game is AWESOME)

  5. Whoa. Elba is KILLING it with that voice. Tails is also awesome, and did y’all think we wouldn’t catch the similarity of the beginning to “Aw yeah, this is happenin’”? I can already tell this is gonna be better than the first one

    1. I was expecting Tom Holland as Tails, but Colleen’s performance as Tails was awesome!

  6. That Knuckles reveal was sick

    ReplyDelete
  7. I like how they made knuckles' arms thicker in order to show off his strength. That kind of attention to detail just shows you how much effort is being put in.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Sonic literally got me through some tough times as a kid I'm glad he's finally getting a great movie franchise. Hopefully the game (Sonic Frontiers) lives up to the hype as well

    ReplyDelete
  9. I can't believe how good these movies have turned out! This is what can happen when studios listen to fans and treat the source material right. Other projects could learn from this.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I love the direction this franchise is taking! Can't wait to see Knuckles!

    ReplyDelete
  11. I want to see more of Knuckles in motion, but from what we just witnessed i'd say it is already one of my favorite designs of him

    ReplyDelete
  12. "Do you think I need your power?" I love that phrase and especially the appearance of Knuckles, without a doubt the best part of the trailer.

    2. i edited this trailer and a huge thank you sir. a lot of time went into his reveal. we wanted to make it as epic as possible

  13. Knuckles: “Do I look like I need your power?”
    That's my favourite part of this trailer

    ReplyDelete
  14. I’m honestly impressed with what they’re doing with sonic and his friends here (especially love what they did with Knuckles finally bringing him back to before he was a laughing stock)

    ReplyDelete
  15. I can't wait to see this! Wonder what Knuckles and Tails would've looked like had they kept Sonic's original design... :) ;D ;`(

    1. don't make me think about it. their final designs in the movie(s) are actually pretty good, given it hasn't been an easy transition.

      Delete
  16. Didn’t think I’d be able to see Idris Elba voicing Knuckles yet here we are. And it somehow works.

    ReplyDelete
  17. The fact that Knuckles is voiced by Idris Elba yet sounds nothing like the guy is great. Love it. Superb voice work imo.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I remember the time when this live action series was despised by everyone and now it’s loved lol which makes me really excited and happy

    ReplyDelete
  19. This looks great. Great work at listening to the fans. Can’t wait for this.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Always love the Sonic series from the bottom of my heart and now knuckles looks good and deserves that awesome respect

    ReplyDelete
  21. I'm so happy the movies are doing incredibly well. The games have been a quality rollercoaster but these movies are top notch!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Woah this looks awesome now I’m really excited I can’t even they’re really going all out with this one I think they’re gonna smash it seeing Tails, Sonic and Knuckles plus Jim Carey back as Eggman is too much for me to handle ♥‿♥ ❤

    ReplyDelete
  23. Remember when the first trailer for the first movie came and we all thought sonic's end is near? Now we can't wait for this awesome sequel to come out!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Love how the first movie's early teaser had everybody rioting about the Sonic silhouette,, while the sequel everybody cheering in celebration.
    The comeback is astounding!!!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Idris Elba seems to be nailing Knuckles' voice, I'm excited for this movie

    ReplyDelete
  26. YES!! Looks like Knuckles is finally being treated with respect!!

    Interesting that Tails is the only one to keep his voice from the games. Not complaining though, Colleen is my favorite voice for him.

    ReplyDelete
  27. This is one of the best trailers I’ve ever seen also:
    “Do I look like I need your power?” That’s such a good money shot!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Watched this at 4AM. Let out a loud "OH" when Knuckles appeared and definitely woke some neighbors. Worth it.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Can’t wait to see this, loved the first one!

    ReplyDelete
  30. This already looks great, and all the references just make me go crazy. When Sonic was on that snowboard I instantly had flashbacks to SA1 and 2. Idris Elba sounds amazing.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Wasn't entirely sure about Idris Elba being Knuckles, but hearing him as The Last Echidna on screen... damn.

    ReplyDelete
  32. The sheer difference between the first trailer reaction for the first movie vs this one. Wow. I’m excited for the future of this franchise

    ReplyDelete
  33. This has multiple signs of a good sequel
    1.expanding the universe
    2. introducing new characters
    3. respecting source materials

    1. 1 chaos emerald? does that imply that the other 6 are on the way?

  34. I cried. So hard. This movie looks absolutely amazing. Having 1 movie was a wish. But 2 Movies, was my ultimate Dream. Thank you so much Paramount, everyone is excited and loves it. :)

    ReplyDelete
  35. "Do I look like I need your power?" is such a great line.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I really enjoyed the first one when it came out, and I can't wait to see what happens next!

    ReplyDelete
  37. I’m so glad my favorite childhood game is getting a sequel movie, this is going to be so awesome!!!

    ReplyDelete
  38. They even included the tails’ plane! This movie is looking exciting af ♥‿♥

    ReplyDelete
  39. I hope Knuckles is in this film a lot. He’s such a badass villain/antihero in some of the early games. Hope the transition from evil to good isn’t super forced or too fast paced.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I'm so excited, Sonic is already a sort of vigilante in his games so doing the same in the movie is brilliant, the tails's part is great, showing a bit of their newly formed dynamic is a really nice touch, even Sonic riding the tornado and Knuckles, My god Knuckles being at eggman's side yet again it's- I just can't wait !!!

    ReplyDelete
  41. The fact that Eggman got knuckles to attack sonic is perfect, as it fits perfectly with how they originally met, with Eggman telling knuckles sonic wanted the master emerald.

    ReplyDelete
  42. 15 hours and still no dislikes?!
    This shows how great this trailer is

    ReplyDelete
  43. Watched the first one with my kids a handful of times. Was a really good movie at heart. I’m probably just as excited as they are for the second one.

    ReplyDelete
  44. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! It’s very clear that the writers have a true passion for the source material. Can’t wait!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Ansioso pra assistir.. Ficou perfeito :B

    ReplyDelete
  46. So excited for this. They really went all out this time! I also think they slightly changed Sonic’s design. I never really expected Knuckles, either!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. They did. He’s a lighter blue in quiet a few shots. Tails’s design has also been altered with being a bit thinner than he was in the first film

  47. I'm so happy Sonic is getting the redemption he TRULY deserves!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Im gonna be real with people here. When I played the first STH which was around 2001 for me, I thought it was boring. A couple years later I played SA2B on the gamecube with my siblings and cousins and I fell in love with the series. That year for my birthday my younger brother and I got a dozen different sonic games.

    One of which was a mixed collection on one disc. I tried out STH3&K and loved it.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Knuckles was hype. Imagine how it’s gonna feel when shadow shows up

    ReplyDelete
  50. Ah finally, the knuckles we know and love is back, looks like the one who do this thing knows what they're doing

    ReplyDelete
  51. The first movie was SO well made. We're all huge fans and I barely played Sonic as a kid.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Soon as the first seconds made a nod to SA1 I couldnt stop smiling for the entire trailer. And then I slight gasped a couple times at some unexpected parts. This sequel is gonna be amazing omg. I know they most likely wont go past 3 movies max. But I still pray that they at least push for 4.

    Shadow or Metal Sonic popping up in the next movie feels like an absolute guarantee though at this point and I am psyched for a trilogy heck yes!!

    ReplyDelete
  53. "Do I look like I need YOUR power?"

    That line is raw as all hell

    ReplyDelete

    1. I'm happy that people still say "raw" in that sense.

  54. So far, this one is giving me nostalgia since they’re bringing in the real OG’s!!! Can’t wait for this movie!!!

    ReplyDelete
  55. Wow, this truly seems to be great, with it getting a tad bit closer to the games by introducing these characters and the emerald. Can't wait to see when they start introducing stuff like Chaos, Shadow or even Iblis

    ReplyDelete
  56. DUDE, I'M SO FREAKING HYPED FOR THIS MOVIE!!!
    Loved the first one, hoping that the sequel will be EVEN better!
    Knuckles & Tails' design are amazing!

    And that line at the end, "Do I look like I need your power?" was sick!

    ReplyDelete
  57. This is everything a sequel movie should be & so much more!!!

    ReplyDelete
  58. Now.. This is sooo GOOD!! Im wondering if tails will actually “fly”

    ReplyDelete
  59. I am so stupidly hyped for this movie, everyone looks amazing and I can already tell they’re doing the characters justice, I AM SO EXCITED! Also, KNOCK, KNOCK, ITS KNUCKLES!

    ReplyDelete
  60. Absolutely love the way this looks, its a great time to be a sonic fan!

    ReplyDelete
  61. The designs look pretty good. Gotta love Tail's glow up

    ReplyDelete
  62. Honestly the knuckles introduction in this trailer was so badass

    ReplyDelete
  63. Idris Elba as Knuckles? I'm sold. This is going to be awesome, also I can't wait to see Tails too.

    ReplyDelete
  64. This actually looks genuinely breathtaking

    ReplyDelete
  65. This is exactly how a trailer must be!! 🤘🔥

    ReplyDelete
  66. This may be the first actual good video game movie adaptation. It seems accurate to the games but it also wants to offer new things. Great!

    ReplyDelete
  67. Love that Colleen is still voicing my boi Tails! She did great in the Sonic Boom series, which was far better than it had any right to be. And Knuckles just comes off as raw badass. Loved this!

    ReplyDelete
  68. I haven't been excited for a movie in a long time. Now I am! Fun fact, Sonic was the last movie I watched in theaters.

    ReplyDelete
  69. was literally wondering if they were gonna add knuckles in this movie and the way i yelled when he appeared!!1 im so excited omggg
