MOVIE NEWS – According to Idris Elba, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will be a real treat for fans.

Idris Elba promised a vibrant experience for the most dedicated fans of Sonic the Hedgehog. Elba will voice the fearsome Knuckles in the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3. The third part of the popular Sonic series will especially appeal to those who have been with the character since the beginning.

In a promotional interview with Collider, talking about the Knuckles TV series – the precursor to the new film – , Elba hinted that Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will feature a densely packed narrative full of nuances and hidden hints.

Of course, he was tight-lipped about specific details. But he called the film “super exciting” and a deeper dive into the Sonic universe. Elba said:

“I can tease nothing. No, seriously. I don’t even know what’s gonna happen in it. No, I’m joking. I can tell you that it’s super exciting. I can tell you that it really does get deeper into the universe of Sonic. I think 3’s probably the one for all the real diehard Sonic fans. They’re gonna get all of those Easter eggs in it.”

“Jim [Carrey] is incredible, man. What a performance. It’s so great to work against, even though I’m never there with him, but I get to hear his voice. Bomb.”

Knuckles is already in the spotlight before Sonic the Hedgehog 3

As the excitement surrounding Sonic the Hedgehog 3 continues to build, fans of the blue lightning-hedgehog can look forward to something special in the near future. Because Paramount+ will also release the spinoff series Knuckles. Set between Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and the upcoming film; the six-episode series offers a reimagining of the titular character known for his red fur and warrior spirit.

In Knuckles, the echidna warrior takes on a new role as a mentor who introduces Wade (played by Adam Pally) to the ancient arts of his people. The series promises more than just a side story. On the contrary: the full presentation of the main character as he navigates his responsibility and self-discovery.
