Opening in theaters on April 8th is the new movie ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 2,’ which is a sequel to 2020’s ‘Sonic the Hedgehog’ and is based on the popular Sega video game.

The movie once again stars Ben Schwartz (‘The Afterparty’) as the voice of Sonic, and adds to the cast Colleen O’Shaughnessey as the voice of Tails and Idris Elba as the voice of Knuckles. Jim Carrey also returns as the villain Dr. Ivo Robotnik, as well as James Marsden and Tika Sumpter who reprise their roles as Tom and Maddie Wachowski, respectively.

The plot of the new film revolves around the return of Dr. Robotnik (Carrey), with his new ally Knuckles (Elba), determined to take over the Earth. Now, Sonic (Schwartz) and his new friend Tails (O’Shaughnessey) must stop them before they succeed in their plans for world domination.

“We find Sonic growing up a little bit, and we see shades of him starting to become a teenager and everything that entails,” Marsden told the Daily News. “Pressing the boundaries a bit more than he normally does, sneaking out at night and trying to be Batman, or Blue Justice as he calls himself.

“He wants to use his powers for good, but he’s still a little young to be doing it and rough around the edges.”

Zooming into theaters Friday, the movie picks up after the lightning-quick Sonic saved Earth in 2020′s original film by defeating Jim Carrey’s power-hungry mad scientist, Doctor Robotnik. In the sequel, the alien hedgehog must work again with Marsden’s Tom Wachowski — the sheriff in their small town of Green Hills, Mont. — after Robotnik returns with a fearsome new ally: the ultra-strong space echidna Knuckles.

Less than two months before the release of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is already in development. The announcement was made during a Viacom Investor Event by the President and CEO of Paramount Pictures & Nickelodeon, Brian Robbins.

The Sonic the Hedgehog film series is based on the fan-favorite video game franchise from Sega. The series follows the adventures of the world’s fastest blue hedgehog as he runs around saving the world from the evil Dr. Robotnik and other villains, and has spanned a number of video games, animated shows, and comic books. The 2020 movie, however, was the first attempt at a live-action adaptation of the franchise, and was by all accounts a huge success, making over $300 million at the box office and getting its sequel greenlit only months after its release.

The original film starred Ben Schwartz as the voice of the titular blue hedgehog, Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik, and James Marsden as Sonic’s human friend who helps him out in the film. The upcoming sequel is set to add two fan-favorite characters, with Colleen O’Shaughnessey as Sonic’s fox friend Miles “Tails” Prower and, to everyone’s surprise, Idris Elba as Knuckles the Echidna.
