This has been an additional particular 12 months for many who just like the Sonic the Hedgehog movie continuity. Beginning off, the primary tie-in TV sequence, Knuckles, was launched to Paramount+ subscription holders in April, and now we’re only a week away from Sonic the Hedgehog 3’s arrival on the 2024 motion pictures schedule. Idris Elba, after all, reprised Knuckles for each tasks, and Keanu Reeves is debuting within the threequel as Shadow the Hedgehog. Whereas we’re nonetheless at the hours of darkness about what’s going to go down between these two in Sonic 3, evidently issues gained’t finish on too dangerous of a observe, as Elba and Reeves need a spinoff starring their characters and pitched some glorious titles for it.
The actors shared their enthusiasm for such a team-up whereas talking with ComicBook, providing the beneath titles as easy, but nonetheless on-point options for that this spinoff can be known as:
Idris Elba: I’m telling you… Shadow Knuckles
Keanu Reeves: No, Knuckles and Shadow.
Elba: Shadow Knuckles appears like a band.
Hey, why overcomplicate the title for a derivative starring these characters? Very like how the title for the upcoming Paramount+ sequence NCIS: Tony & Ziva is “unbelievable,” there’s no must give you one thing difficult for such a Sonic the Hedgehog spinoff. Simply maintain it easy! As for if I like Shadow Knuckles or Knuckles and Shadow, I’ve to go along with the latter, however not due to Idris Elba’s band statement.
Slightly than Knuckles and Shadow being its personal sequence or film, I feel it will be higher if that was the title used for Knuckles Season 2, assuming that’s within the playing cards. Assuming Shadow comes out of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 as a very good man, or a minimum of much less inclined to kill Knuckles, Sonic and Tails, then can be simple sufficient to throw him into an adventures with Knuckles that requires them to work collectively. Tack on Shadow’s title to the Knuckles present, and also you give individuals extra incentive to take a look at the subsequent season.
In fact, even entertaining the potential for a Knuckles and Shadow film or sequence taking place in any kind can’t really occur till Sonic the Hedgehog 3 comes out. Along with Idris Elba and Keanu Reeves, in addition to Ben Schwartz and Colleen O’Shaughnessey respectively reprising Sonic and Tails, the threequel sees the return of parents like James Marsden as Tom Wachowski, Tika Sumpter as Maddie Wachowski, Lee Majdoub as Agent Stone, and Jim Carrey enjoying each Dr. Ivo Robotnik and his grandfather Gerald. Newcomers embrace Krysten Ritter, Alyla Browne, Sofia Pernas, Cristo Fernández, James Wolk, and Jorma Taccone.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 races into theaters on December 20. If the day comes that Knuckles and Shadow is formally introduced, rely on CinemaBlend to move alongside that information.
