Sonic the Hedgehog 3 hits theaters this December, and if you weren’t already excited after the recent report that Keanu Reeves would be lending Shadows , Idris Elba (the voice of Knuckles in the movies) is now here to fuel the blue blur’s third appearance on the big screen.
Speaking with collider recently, Elba mentioned that the Sonic 3 movie will go much “deeper into the Sonic universe” and contain all kinds of Easter eggs. All this clearly makes it a film for “true diehard Sonic fans”:
“I can tell you it really goes deeper into the Sonic universe. I mean 3 is probably the one for all true diehard Sonic fans.”
Before Sonic 3 December 20, 2024 theatrical launch, Idris Elba’s character Knuckles will appear in the six-episode Paramount action series, which debuts next week on April 26, 2024. In it, Knuckles goes on a “hilarious journey of self-discovery” after agreeing to teach Wade the ways of the warrior Echidna.
