The sequel to 2020’s Sonic the Hedgehog movie wrapped earlier this year, but on Tuesday, actor Idris Elba took to social media to reveal that he would be playing Knuckles in the upcoming film.
Elba will join a cast that already features some big stars, including James Marsden, Tika Sumpter, Natasha Rothwell, and Shemar Moore.
The actor shared the news on Twitter, simply sharing a photo of Knuckles’ closed fist with a message of “Knock, knock….” accompanying it.
Due to previous set photos, it has been confirmed that the video game’s fan-favorite characters Miles “Tails” Prower and Knuckles the Echidna are now joining Sonic in the sequel.
