- After Sonic the Hedgehog 2 smashed box office records, Paramount+ raced ahead of the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3 to bring us a miniseries spin-off, Knuckles, which takes place between the two films. Voiced by Idris Elba (Luther), the titular foe-turned-friend of Sonic is getting his very own show that Elba promises is an even deeper dive into the Sonic universe. He tells Collider's Steve Weintraub that fans can expect to learn "a whole lot more about him," and shares his experience in the sound booth.
Sonic 2 (2022) set us up for an adventure that packs a chaos energy-charged punch with Paramount+'s Knuckles miniseries. This solo adventure is six episodes long, taking place between the second and third film, which is set to release later this year, and takes fans of the franchise on a wild ride of self-discovery as Knuckles adapts to his new life on Earth among the Whipple family. Unable to relax, Knuckles decides to train Wade Whipple (Adam Pally) in the ways of the Echidna warrior to face off with a new enemy, The Buyer, played by Rory McCann (Game of Thrones).
During this interview, Elba shares what it was like to reprise his role as Knuckles for a series all his own, the challenges of performing efforts, and what he hopes fans of the Sonic franchise will discover with Knuckles. Check out the video above or the transcript below for updates on other projects, as well, like Extraction 3, more Luther movies, Heads of State, and Above the Below, which he's co-directing.
Knuckles also stars Cary Elwes (The Princess Bride), Stockard Channing (Grease), Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future), Ben Schwartz (Sonic the Hedgehog), Edi Patterson (The Righteous Gemstones), Kid Cudi (X), and more.

Idris is a very down to earth guy. I saw him a few times at Pinewood Studios and he did the head nod thing at me when he walked past me. He also ate at the canteen with everyone quite often. He is a national treasure. You can tell he is just a regular guy.
lmao, his reaction to the “curve ball.” That was such a standard question.
Idris Elba is a legend
Idris Elba has been a very good choice of who should be voicing Knuckles in the Sonic films that Paramount got contracted by Sega to produce. That actor did a great job at making Knuckles show a good amount of humor in Sonic 2 while also making that ecidna be as serious as he was shown to be in his debut game. That African/American accent helps a lot in how to make what that character says on screen sound serious instead of making Knuckles sound weak and dumb. He helped bring the better version of Knuckles back, and I'm impressed with that.👍
What accent are you hearing he's English as hell lol
@@MentalStillness Were you just purposefully making your reply have a bit of a joke in it, or not?
Idris Elba's version of the character of kunckles Is definitely my second favorite In my opinion, I feel like he's definitely way up there with Dan Green's kunckles from the 4kids era.
He’s a great actor,I’m a huge fan of him and I can’t wait for the new series.
I do not make jokes. I make warriors.
I immediately love him for saying everyone should see him in The Office first and foremost. 🥺💕
Thisll be great to quench my thirst till Sonic 3. Glad Knuckles is getting some development here so we can focus more on Shadow later.
This guy is gonna be even more 🔥 with Keanu Reeves!!

I can never hear anyone else voice Knuckles now 🤷🏾♂️I only wanna hear Idris from here on out

I hope Tara Strong will voice Amy Rose in the Third Sonic movie if you don't agree with me that's fine
