Paramount has confirmed that an unique Knuckles sequence is in growth, and as within the second Sonic film, Idris Elba would be the voice of the very critical (checks Google) echidna. Knuckles is an echidna? Speak about burying the lede.
However sure, that is taking place, and it’ll premiere in 2023 solely on Paramount Plus. That is a streaming service operated by Paramount, and among the many firm’s different newly introduced tasks is a Dungeons & Dragons film, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, and a brand new Star Trek sequence. No different particulars have been launched, although I believe you possibly can safely assume it will resemble the reside motion movies, solely with a concentrate on Elba’s Knuckles, and in a serialised format.
Oh, and regardless of the second Sonic movie nonetheless being a couple of months away, a 3rd film has been confirmed. In a press release issued by the official Sonic Twitter account, SEGA CEO Haruki Satomi expressed his delight with the entire Sonic Cinematic Universe scenario (thanks, Geoff Keighley).
