By After working together in the “Cyberpunk 2077” game, actors Keanu Reeves and Idris Elba are re-teaming on screen together as voices in the third “Sonic the Hedgehog” film opening in December.
Elba played the role of Knuckles in the second film and scored his own “Knuckles” spin-off series earlier this year. Reeves joins the fray as Shadow with the new film.
Speaking with ComicBook.com, the actors themselves confirmed their interest in continued collaborations with Elba suggesting “Shadow Knuckles” as a title for a new team-up project to which Reeves responds: “No, Knuckles and Shadow” and Elba says back: “Shadow Knuckles sounds like a band.”
Elba was also asked if “Knuckles” Season 2 or “Sonic the Hedgehog 4” would be Elba’s next work in the franchise, he says:
“Oh, wow, is there a Sonic 4? You know more than me, my guy. I would say I’d love to do it. Any chance to understand the characters a little bit more, in the different episodes … If [the filmmakers are] in, I’m down.”
“Sonic the Hedgehog 3” opens in cinemas on December 20th with the film reportedly on track for a $55 million opening weekend domestically.
