sonic the hedgehog 2

It’s like a famous CGI hedgehog once said: you have to go at a fast enough pace…at least when you’re trying to get ahead of your competition on a busy weekend of big-budget advertising.

Presumably taking this famous (and often quoted!) maxim at heart, Paramount released the “Big Game” spot for its upcoming sonic the hedgehog 2 a little early this weekend, that is to say two days before the start of said Big Game. (Years later, the little “chiefs… or TAILS?!” joke at the beginning of this thing is going to be completely disassociated from the Super Bowl, and everything will be impossible to analyze.)

As for the contents of the trailer, it’s mostly a closer look at what we’ve seen in the first big promo of the moviewith a continued focus on Sonic’s echidna rival Knuckles, and us trying not to get distracted by the odd sound of Idris Elba’s voice coming out of a CGI monotreme.

Beyond that, we get a few more shots of Jim Carrey in Dr. Robotnik mode, comic book villain, some more Colleen O’Shaughbornssey’s Tails, and what we assume is going to be a decent percentage of what James Marsden ended up doing for it all movie. Also, there’s a bit where Ben Schwartz’s Sonic refers to Knuckles as “The Winter Soldier”, apparently because they’re in snowy places. mountains, and now we can’t help but fantasize about what it would be like if Sonic were men the Avengers. (According to the Internet: Sonic and the Avengers kiss.)

sonic the hedgehog 2 is currently heading towards a release date of April 8, 2022. The original moviewhich happened a few months before everything started to stop at the movie level in January 2020, ended up being a modest success for Paramount, grossing more than 3 times its budget at the box office.
