Alongside the new actors, all of the original cast and voice actors are returning. This includes Ben Schwartz’s Sonic, James Marsden’s Tom, Tika Sumpter’s Maddie, Idris Elba’s Knuckles, Lee Majdoub’s Agent Stone, and Colleen O’Shaughnessey’s Tails.
Can You Feel The Sunshine?
Alyla Browne is an interesting one, considering she’s the youngest of the bunch. With the movie being Shadow’s full debut, it’s not hard to imagine her playing his only human companion, Maria. InSonic Adventure 2, Maria Robotnik is a terminally ill girl who connects with Shadow. If they’re to tell Shadow’s origin story, she’s a huge part of why he’s the way he is.
TheSonic Adventurecomparisons get larger with the addition of Krysten Ritter. TheBreaking BadandJessica Jonesactress is a big win, considering her solid resume. But what does it have to do withSonic Adventure 2?IGNmakes a slight nod to a rumor that she may playRogue the Bat, a spy character who first appeared inSonic Adventure 2and has since become a staple ofSonicgames.
After all this, who’s playing Shadow the Hedgehog? Unfortunately, it’s still under wraps at this time. But fear not, I didwrite a list of potential actorsfor the spiky anti-hero a month ago. If you want more Shadow before the film’s release, SEGA just revealedSonic X Shadow Generations, a remaster of the 2011 game.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3races into theaters on December 20 this year. Before that,a TV spinoff featuring Knuckleswill launch on Paramount+ in the summer.
