Sonic 2 director Jeff Fowler says fans will love the upcoming Knuckles series!
✖ Knuckles the Echidna has been a part of the Sonic franchise since 1994, but the character has gotten a big spotlight recently thanks to Sonic the Hedgehog 2. In the film, Knuckles is portrayed by Idris Elba, where he appears as an antagonist battling it out against Sonic. Fans will get a chance to see more of the character in the upcoming Knuckles series on Paramount+, and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 director Jeff Fowler has now weighed in on the new series.
"Oh, it's very early with all of that [the Knuckles series]. One thing I knew after we finished the film, people are going to love this character. They're going to love Idris playing this character and they're going to want more of Knuckles absolutely," Fowler told Discussing Film."So right now, all the focus is just on getting people excited and getting them out to see the sequel. Then, we'll go from there.
Of course, as anyone familiar with the games will tell you, Knuckles eventually becomes friends with the blue blur, and a hero in his own right. After debuting as an antagonist in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 on Sega Genesis, Knuckles returned as a playable character in Sonic & Knuckles. In 1995, the character even got his own spin-off game, called Knuckles' Chaotix. That title featured a number of other fun and unique partner characters, while pitting Knuckles against Metal Sonic.
For now, fans will just have to settle for Knuckles' appearance in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, which is now in theaters.
