What happens

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a 2022 action-adventure comedy film based on the Sonic video game series. The sequel to Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) and the second installment in the Sonic the Hedgehog film series, it was directed by Jeff Fowler and written by Pat Casey, Josh Miller, and John Whittington. Ben Schwartz, Jim Carrey, James Marsden, Tika Sumpter, Natasha Rothwell, Colleen O'Shaughnessey and Adam Pally reprise their roles, with Shemar Moore and Idris Elba joining the cast. In the film, Sonic and his friend Tails (O'Shaughnessey) embark on a journey to find the Master Emerald before their nemesis, Dr. Robotnik, and his accomplice, Knuckles the Echidna (Elba). Following the success of the first film, Paramount Pictures announced the sequel in May 2020, with Fowler, Casey, Miller and the cast returning. Filming took place from March to June 2021 in Vancouver and Hawaii. The film was inspired by the video games Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (1992), Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (1994), and Sonic & Knuckles (1994). Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was theatrically released in several markets on March 30, 2022, in the United States on April 8, and in Japan on August 19. Like its predecessor, it set several box office records for a video game film and received mixed reviews from critics. It grossed $405.4 million worldwide. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and the television spin-off Knuckles were released in 2024, while Sonic the Hedgehog 4 will be released in 2027. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
