Sonic the Hedgehog 2

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a 2022 action-adventure comedy film released by Paramount Pictures, Sega Sammy Group and Original Film, based on the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series published by Sega, and the sequel to Sonic the Hedgehog (2020). Directed by Jeff Fowler and written by Pat Casey, Josh Miller, and John Whittington, it stars Ben Schwartz reprising his role as the voice of Sonic the Hedgehog, alongside James Marsden, Tika Sumpter, Natasha Rothwell, Adam Pally, Shemar Moore, Colleen O'Shaughnessey, Lee Majdoub, Idris Elba and Jim Carrey. The film follows Sonic and Tails, who team up to find the Master Emerald before Dr. Robotnik and Knuckles the Echidna do, while also contending with the military organisation called G.U.N.
Following the success of the first film, Paramount Pictures announced the sequel in May 2020, with Fowler returning as director, while Casey and Josh Miller returned as writers, and Schwartz, Casey and the rest of the cast reprised their roles. Filming took place from March to June 2021 in Vancouver and Hawaii.
The film was released on DVD, Blu-Ray and 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray in the United Kingdom and Ireland on August 8, 2022, and in the United States on the following day by Paramount Home Entertainment.
