Talk about method acting: Idris Elba wore giant Knuckles gloves 🐻while recording his lines for Son🅠ic the Hedgehog 3.

In the brief clip, which can be viewed below, we get a behind-the-scenes look at Elba, Keanu Reeves, Ben Schwartz, and Colleen O’Shaughnessy recording their lines for the upcoming thre🌟equel. Elba can be seen, quite hilariously, recording his lines while wearing giant Knuckles gloves. We admire his dedication.

Elba plays Knuckles not only in the feature films, but in the spin-off miniseries of the same name. The series premiered on Paramount Plus earlier this year, and follows Knuckles as he trains deputy sheriff Wade𓂃 Whipple (Adam Pally) in the ways of the Echidna warrior.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 sees Sonic (♔Schwartz), Tails (O'Shaughnessy), and Knuckles team up with Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) to take down Shadow (Reeves). The cast includes James Marsden as Tom Wachowski, Tika Sumpter as Tom's wife Maddie, Krysten Ritter, Shemar Moore, Al♐yla Browne, Natasha Rothwell, and Jorma Taccone.

The live-action/CGI hybrid Sonic movies have been a global box office success, with the first Sonic earning $320 million against a bu🐓dget of $90 million, and the second earning $409 million against a budget of $90 million.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 races into cinemas on December 20 in the US and December 21 in the UK. For more of your favorite hedgehog, check out our ranking of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Sonic movies.
