Elba will voice Knuckles, a powerful fighter with spiked hands who ends up as Sonic’s nemesis on the comedy film based on the video game franchise. After settling in Green Hills, Sonic is eager to prove he has what it takes to be a true hero. His test comes when Dr. Robotnik returns, this time with a new partner, Knuckles (Elba), in search for an emerald that has the power to destroy civilizations.
Sonic teams up with his own sidekick, Tails, and together they embark on a globe-trotting journey to find the emerald before it falls into the wrong hands. Returning to the sequel are stars James Marsden, Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic, Tika Sumpter, Natasha Rothwell, Adam Pally, and Jim Carrey alongside new additions Shemar Moore and Colleen O’Shaughnessey as the voice of Tails.
