Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a 2022 action-adventure comedy film based on the video game franchise published by Sega. It is 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 (voiced by Schwartz) and Tails (voiced by O'Shaughnessey) teaming up to find the Master Emerald, before Dr. Robotnik (Carrey) and Knuckles (voiced by Elba) can do so.

Following the success of the first film, Paramount Pictures announced the sequel in May 2020. Filming took place from March to June 2021 in Vancouver and Hawaii.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was first theatrically released in several international markets, starting on March 30, 2022, and was released in the United States on April 8, by Paramount Pictures in association with Sega Sammy Group. Like its predecessor, the film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised its action sequences, performances and humor, but criticized its runtime, screenplay and pacing.[7] A third film and a spin-off series focusing on Knuckles are in development.
