Sonic the Hedgehog Fans are Ecstatic Over Idris Elba's Knuckles Casting

Earlier today, Idris Elba revealed that he will be stepping into the role of Knuckles the Echidna for Paramount's Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Elba's voice seems perfect for the character, and fans have been collectively celebrating the casting on social media. The move isn't set to release until April 2022, so it might be a while before we get to hear Elba's take on the Echidna, but for now, fans seem quite happy! The first Sonic the Hedgehog film was a big surprise critically and commercially, so hopefully fans will be equally pleased when the sequel releases in theaters next year.
