There’s been a flurry of rumor and speculation swirling around the Sonic the Hedgehog sequel over the last couple of days, mostly concerning the addition of fan favorite character Knuckles. We already know that Tails will be making an appearance in the second installment after dropping by during one of the two post-credits scenes, but so far there’s no official word from returning director Jeff Fowler about whether or not he’s got big plans for the two longtime supporting players.
Of course, Sonic 2 was only given the official green light at the end of May and isn’t expected to hit theaters until 2022, but the first movie convinced the doubters who balked at the horrible initial design for the title hero by winning them over with an entertaining family film that scored enthusiastic reviews from critics and did solid business at the box office.
Dwayne Johnson has emerged as the number one choice to lend his vocal talents to Knuckles, and insider Daniel Richtman is now claiming that the actor is actually wanted for two roles in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. We heard from our own sources almost a year ago that the 48 year-old was being eyed for the sequel, and the movie is also reportedly looking for an A-list talent to play a human called Randall, which could conceivably be the other part in question.
Obviously, this is all going to remain hearsay until we get more concrete information on the project, especially when we don’t even know if Knuckles is even going to be part of the script. However, if he under consideration then Johnson certainly has the talent to pull it off, seeing as even his own daughter refused to believe he was the voice of Maui in Moana.
