The red echidna has been a friendly rival of Sonic since he debuted in 1994’s Sonic the Hedgehog 3 for the Sega Genesis and got his first starring role in Sonic & Knuckles later that year.
The original film released on February 14, 2020, and was a surprise hit with both critics and audiences.
It looks like it isn’t just Miles “Tails” Prower that is joining the cast of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, which Paramount Pictures will release on April 8, 2022.
Jeff Fowler will direct the sequel after making a big splash with the original film, which was his feature directorial debut.
