Thing promised thing due. Paramount had indicated that it would release the first trailer for Sonic 2, the film, during the Game Awards in 2021. And that is exactly what the American studio did. This video not only reveals the first frames of the film and shows some of its new protagonists, but also answers a question that the French public has been asking since the announcement of this sequel. And this reaction may not make everyone happy.
The first trailer for Sonic 2, the movie has therefore just been put online. In this sequel, Sonic lives comfortably in Green Hills with Tom and Maddie. He uses his free time and his powers to play the superheroes.
The return of Dr. Robotnik, this time accompanied by the dark Knuckles, will turn everything upside down. Especially since they are looking for a mysterious emerald with immense power. Fortunately for him, this time around, Sonic will benefit from Tails’ help to thwart the mad scientist’s plans.
A trailer that multiplies the references
As the title of this news suggests, Paramount France has therefore made the controversial decision to entrust the role of Sonic again to the French actor Malik Bentalha. For those who wouldn’t have followed it all, the performance in the latter on Sonic, the film, is nowhere near unanimous.
And for the French version of Sonic 2, the film as a whole, Paramount decided to reproduce the American pattern. On the one hand, the stunt casting for the title role. On the other hand, a historical voice for the character of Tails. As we told you yesterday, Tails is spoken in English by Colleen O’Shaughnessey. The latter has been lending her voice to the two-tailed fox since 2014.
A VF a priori unequal for Sonic 2, the Film
And in French, the dubbing of Tails is done by Marie-Eugénie Maréchal. The latter has been the voice of Sonic’s companion since 2003 and the animated series Sonic X, most recently she was heard in Sonic Colors Ultimate as Tails. Unsurprisingly, the brilliant Emmanuel Curtil is back in the role of Dr. Robotnik is.
For those who the acting of Malik Bentalha gives buttons, the video is also available in the original version. To make your task easier, the original version of this video can be found below:
As already mentioned, Sonic 2, the film will hit French cinemas on April 6, 2022. If you follow the logic, the film should show itself again by then.
