Time to get excited — the first trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is out.

It was unveiled at Thursday night’s Games Awards and gives fans of the original movie and popular Sega video game franchise a first look at Tails and Knuckles, two of Sonic’s animated buddies in the live-action world.

Most of the cast from the first Sonic movie is returning, including Ben Schwartz as the voice of the speedy blue hedgehog.

The sequel introduces his yellow, two-tailed, flying sidekick Miles “Tails” Prower (portrayed by Sonic video game voice actor Colleen O’Shaughnessy).

Knuckles, a red echidna who’s sometimes a friend and foe of Sonic in the games, is voiced by Idris Elba.

The live-action cast also includes Jim Carrey as Dr. Ivan “Eggman” Robotnik.

Sonic The Hedgehog 2 is set to premiere in theaters on April 8, 2022.

Do you think it’s going to be a huge hit?
