First trailer for the upcoming movie Sonic the Hedgehog 2 has now contested on internet, giving us a pretty full look at not only the titular critter and his helper Tails, but also the dearly loved red echidna Knuckles.
Much like his video game counterpart, it looks like Knuckles will start as a villain, with the voice over talents of Idris Elba even being exposed, with the Luther star giving the character a pressure factor like never before.
Knuckles was first launched in the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 video game in the before time of 1994, start of his story as a non playable opponent. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 has not only trapped close to the source material when starting the fan preferred nature to life, the movie will also apparently brushwood close to his derivation, with Knuckles likely to unite with Sonic and Tails come the finale.
Like Sonic and Tails, Knuckles has his own exacting set of abilities, containing the skill to slither and go up walls, as well as being a powerful fighter who makes use of his speared hands. Something which has also been moved to the big screen.
Knuckles naturally serves as the protector of the Master Emerald, a huge gemstone which controls the series' essential Chaos Emeralds, and is the last living member of his race, all elements which look have been integrated in his silver screen debut.
