Fan reception toward Sonic 2 has been positive so far. A lot of people are excited to see Ben Schwartz' Sonic square off against Knuckles, voiced by Idris Elba sounding way sexier than he needs to be. So many people that Paramount must've noticed, and like with the last movie they're taking note of fan reception and responding accordingly. Only this time the fans actually like what they see.

Sega CEO Haruki Satomi confirmed on Twitter that Sonic 3 and a live-action series in the same universe are in production. He said, "we’ve got a remarkable partnership with Paramount, and we are excited to continue expanding the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise with them.2022 is shaping up to be a significant year for the franchise with the second film being released this April, as well as 'Sonic Frontiers', the highly anticipated video game title, coming this holiday."

The series, which is coming to Paramount+, will focus on Knucks, with Idris again lending his voice to the  echidna. And while Sonic 2 isn't in theaters for a good few weeks, they've already unveiled the official logo for the next movie in the series.

The 2 in the logo for Sonic 2 is yellow and has two tails; an obvious reference to Tails, who appeared in the first movie's post-credits scene. Take this with a grain of salt, but that 3 being black and red? That can only mean one thing in my eyes.

Let's fucking go, Shadowbros!
