Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Updated Cast list, Shemar Moore Joins Crew

With Sonic The Hedgehog making $319 million dollars on a budget of around $90 million, the success saw the inevitability of a sequel. Sonic 2, with the working title going as the Emerald Hills, wrapped up most of its principal filming in Vancouver from March 15th to May 12th and has a projected release date for 2022. Jeff Fowler will once again head direction, along with Casey and Josh Miller returning as writers.

James Mardsen and Tika Sumpter return to reprise their roles as Tom and Maddie Wachowski. Tom is the sheriff of Green Hills, Montana who first befriends Sonic, along with Maddie, a veterinarian, and the two adopt the blue speedster at the end of the first film. Ben Swartz, who has voice credits that include Dewey Duck in Ducktales and Leonardo in Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, embraced his first major casting role as Sonic and will take up the role once again.

Jim Carrey will also be back as Dr. Robotnik, and the wily scientist will be aided by Knuckles in search of the magical emeralds (presumably a Chaos Emerald, a strong source of energy in the Sonic the Hedgehog universe) that will provide him with enough power to exact his revenge on Sonic and build powerful and dangerous new tech. It isn't known who will voice the role of Knuckles as of this writing.

Tales was shown in the post-credit sequence, and was voiced by Collen O'Shaughnessey, but as of this writing it doesn't seem confirmed she will be back. Tom's friend Wade Whipple, played by Adam Pally who played Max Blum in the series Happy Endings), is back, and will likely continue to be Tom's deputy partner. Natasha Rothwell (Wonder Woman 84) returns as Maddie's sister, Rachel, who didn't have a high opinion of Tom in the first, and urged Maddie to leave him. It'll be interesting to see if she will have any interaction with Sonic.

Joining the cast will be veteran actor Shemar Moore, who has starred in Criminal Minds for 11 seasons and the star of S.W.A.T., as a new character, though the role is undisclosed. Shemar shared a behind-the-scenes photo of the Sonic 2 cast on Instagram. More details in the weeks and months to come.

Sonic The Hedgehog 2 is scheduled to hit theaters April 8 2022.
