About Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Movie:

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is an action-adventure comedy film based on the Sonic video game series. The second in the Sonic film series, it was directed by Jeff Fowler and written by Pat Casey, Josh Miller, and John Whittington.

James Marsden, Ben Schwartz, Tika Sumpter, Natasha Rothwell, Adam Pally, Colleen O’Shaughnessey and Jim Carrey reprise their roles, with Shemar Moore and Idris Elba joining the cast.

Following the success of Sonic the Hedgehog (2020), Paramount Pictures announced the sequel in May 2020, with Fowler, Casey, Miller and the cast returning. Filming took place from March to June 2021 in Vancouver and Hawaii.

The film draws inspiration from the video games Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (1992), Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (1994), and Sonic & Knuckles (1994).

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was theatrically released in several markets on March 30, 2022, in the United States on April 8, and in Japan on August 19. Like its predecessor, it set several box office records for a video game film and received positive reviews from critics, who praised the performances and action sequences but criticized the screenplay and runtime.

It grossed $405.4 million worldwide. A spin-off series, Knuckles, premiered on Paramount+ on April 26, 2024, while a third film was released on December 20, 2024.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Storyline:

After settling in Green Hills, Sonic is ready for more freedom, and Tom and Maddie agree to leave him home while they go on vacation. But, no sooner are they gone, when Dr. Robotnik comes back, this time with a new partner, Knuckles, in search for an emerald that has the power to both build and destroy civilizations. Sonic teams up with his own sidekick, Tails, and together they embark on a journey to find the emerald before it falls into the wrong hands.
