Sonic 2’s Tika Sumpter & Natasha Rothwell on Making the Bigger Sequel

With director Jeff Fowler’s Sonic the Hedgehog 2 now playing in theaters, I recently got to speak with Tika Sumpter and Natasha Rothwell about making the sequel. In the sequel, Sonic is eager to prove he has what it takes to be a true hero and gets his wish when Doctor Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik (Jim Carrey) returns with a new partner, Knuckles, in search for an emerald that has the power to destroy civilizations. To help save the world, Sonic teams up with Tails, and together they embark on a globe-trotting journey to find the emerald before it falls into the wrong hands. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 stars Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic, Idris Elba as the voice of Knuckles, Colleen O'Shaughnessey as the voice of Tails, James Marsden, Adam Pally, and Shemar Moore.
