Tails and Knuckles debut in first trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 2

At the Game Awards on Dec. 9, Ben Schwartz (who voices Sonic the Hedgehog) and Jim Carrey (who portrays Dr. Robotnik) presented the trailer to Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

The stars of the successful 2020 video game to movie adaptation, showed up at the Game Awards on Thursday to present the trailer for the upcoming sequel Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

"Trust me, there will come a moment when your powers will be needed," James Marsden, playing Sonic's friend Tom Wachowski, promises. That time arrives when Tails and Knuckles, two characters from the video games, arrive in the movie world.

The fox, Miles Prower, better known as Tails, showed up in the closing minutes of the first film, and will naturally have a bigger role in the second. Tails is voiced by Colleen O'Shaughnessey, who has been his voice in the Sonic video games since 2014 and is the only actor from the games to reprise her role in the movie. On the opposite end of the voice-acting spectrum, Knuckles the Echidna will be voiced by Idris Elba.

"Do I look like I need your power," Knuckles says as he blocks Sonic with his abnormally large... knuckle. Watch the trailer below!
