Well ahead of Sonic the Hedgehog 2’s theatrical release in April, Paramount teased fans with three new character posters.
Sonic the Hedgehog is often seen as the best video game film adaptation ever, so hype over the second movie is already at a fever pitch. It’s not coming out until April 8, 2022, but Paramount probably wants everyone ready to bolt toward theaters on premiere day. Though a specific subset of the fandom clearly has been ready since the announcement that Idris Elba will voice Knuckles the Echidna.
On Tuesday, the official Sonic the Hedgehog movie Twitter account shared character posters, each with an accompanying corny tagline. The titular hero Sonic got “License 2 Quill,” while everyone’s favorite sidekick Trails had “Ready 2 Kick Tail,” and (best of all) Knuckles sported “Time 2 Punch In.” Check them out for yourself below.

That wonderful sense of humor from the first film seems to be back in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. A legacy that the Knuckles the Echidna TV show hopefully continues next year.
Time will tell if Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movie ends up as another fan favorite like the first, but thus far, it’s looking promising. Paramount is all-in on more video game adaptations, with the Halo TV series already getting a second season renewal.
