I love how much Idris and Jim Carrey adore being in these films. Idris talks about this like any of his other movies, not like just some kids movie he has no care for.
@@sora5061Nothing much, Keanu formerly being a gamer, was nervous playing as shadow. So he looked up Shadow’s backstory and is well informed about shadow.
So thankful the actors in these movies take the job so seriously and see it more than just a paycheck. Can’t believe how far the movies have come since that first trailer
Usually it's for their children blegh, another reason to hate them, making prestige actors taking jobs for film slop like those superhero movies or movies for children
I think this movie specifically is just a good place to work from what I've seen. Probably the only reason Jim Carrey decided to stay on because of the fun shenanigans they can have and how loving to the story it is.
I remember when Idris was cast as Knuckles. I thought he was just doing it for a paycheck and wouldn’t respect the character or audience. Man was I wrong.
@@CybersteelEx I personally think it is cool and good when parents do something their kid asks of them instead of spurning them because they consider it beneath their skill. can you imagine if we hadn't gotten Raul Julia as M. Bison in the live action street fighter movie? that movie was dreadful, but Julia's performance in it is an all-timer. He plays that hammy bastard up like no tomorrow, and it was so memorable for it.
Idk why but after Knuckles gets beat up in Shizuoka at the beginning of the film, and Sonic asks if he’s okay and he says “No. Not really”. I love that specific delivery haha
Knuckles had a true sense of maturity in this film and he really feels like part of the family. I'm glad paramount isndoing him justice with their movies.
I was 13 years old when Sonic Adventure came out. I was eager to hear Knuckles’ voice because I was obsessed with the Sonic comics published by Archie But Edris Elba was a remarkable choice. He’s made him a totally new character and even more endearing.
Love Idris' voice as Knuckles! He knows how to bring in that 'passionate tough guy but actually soft and a bit naive' side of the character. And thanks to Sonic 3 I can't imagine anyone else voicing him for the rest of the movie series.
I remember being iffy on Idris playing Knuckles when he first made the announcement. Now though he has become my favorite version of Knuckles and just enjoying watching him in movies.
Here after watching the movie and tbh knuckles might have been my favourite character, the humor with him being a fish out of water while STILL being an actual threat and battle smart is amazing ❤
You named your son after Idris? You clearly ain't seen The Wire, he be messing with his bosss nephews girl...she underage. The whole scene was creepy as hell. Stringer...PacBell. Drumming it up.
8 MORE DAYS FOLKS!! Also, kids (plus his own son) asking him to do the Knuckles voice shows how amazing and iconic it has become. Also, TODAY, the SHADOW GENERATIONS MOVIE SHADOW DLC CAME OUT!!
These actors were correct for Sonic Tails Knuckles and Shadow, Idris and Keanu must celebrate for being choosing by phone call for these luckiest icconic voice roles ever
Knuckles is my favorite character in the franchise so knowing that Idris Elba puts so much into his performance is amazing to me. He was meant to portray Knuckles.
best sonic movie yet! i think its mostly cause its based on the best sonic game ever, not in terms of units sold, but in loveable story, characters and settings. i wonder if the movies will now follow video games and all decline in quality after sonic adventure 2 arc. Amy looks cool (even though she acted more like Sticks in the post credit scene) and metal sonic making an appearance AFTER the doctor is dead doesnt make a lot of sense. unless if he's alive. shadow couldve grabbed him before teleporting back to earth. or i guess the metal sonics could have been dormant and activated only upon the doctor's death. maybe he made that decision during a moment he thought he could die, and just forgot about the program altogether. at that point, the story could be good and really sad, all the metal sonics going after sonic cause they think it could bring their father back, but he's dead and they have to learn it the hard way.
I think he doesn’t really care about playing Knuckles like he doesn’t hate the role or anything but it’s not the greatest thing he’s ever done and he prefers to be in the film itself than just recording a voice
Yes you do have to worry about your expressions, voice acting is not just talking into a mic like you’re reading a book in class. Voice acting is still acting, not just reading off the script.
I'm gonna be honest.... ever since the 2nd movie, I get the impression that Idris Elba doesn't actually care about these movies or this franchise much outside of having to say positive things. He's just cast for the role, making money and pleasing his kid. But you don't usually see him care to appear at stuff that Ben Schwartz and James Marsden would for example. He's just too big for this little kiddy series. lol I get a similar vibe from Jim Carrey but Jim cares a little bit more since he gets to do a lot of his own antics. lol That said, I'm not mad at it. Just an observation. I'm sure he at least enjoys it to a small extent.
Yeah a bit unfortunate but I have noticed this as well though people claim he has asked to do season 2 of knuckles so i don't know if that means that he cares more than we think
I don’t really think he doesn’t care, he does especially for his kid, but not everyone can share their excitement the same way like Ben and James. You can tell how Idris is more calm and relaxed with how he speaks, different from his Knuckles voice. His voice is less energetic compared to the two, more softly spoken than energetic, which may be because of where he lives, or that’s just his mannerisms. I think Jim Carrey definitely did come back money, who wouldn’t, but if you see some of the behind the scenes, you can tell how much fun he had with the other actors like with Lee. Besides, he’s putting it his ALL in this movie, playing two roles is insane, and I feel like if you didn’t enjoy what you were doing, you would probably not be up to the task to act twice as much. Not saying that they’re as excited as James or Ben, but like you said, I’m sure they both do enjoy what they’re doing.
@ Copium I guess. Like I said, it’s the vibe I get. It’s not based on them vs Ben. It’s them vs themselves when talking about other movies. Like it seems as though they like the movie they’re in but they aren’t really invested in it. Because it’s a little kiddy movie to them. And I could be wrong. That’s just the impression I get. lol I totally expect everyone else who wants to be %110 positive all the time to be defensive of this take just like how no one wants to admit that Keanu Reeves as Shadow has been a bit weak half the time and none of the examples fans used as “what if he were Shadow” prior to the casting announcement sounded any good for the character. That’s a different can of worms. But my point is I think people are wearing rose-tinted glasses and are afraid to point out anything that’s not fully positive in fear that it will ruin the whole thing. I mean don’t get me wrong. I don’t need Idris or Jim Carrey to actually care about the series. I like their performance and they’re getting paid the most so I better like it. lol
that's the problem with casting A-list hollywood actors. they're doing the most basic surface level research of these characters and giving a half assed peformance (keanu in the movie pack DLC sounds particularly soulless). only the tails VA thrives in the role
I disagree. At the UK premiere he actually sat in the crowd and watched the movie with regular fans and high five everyone along the way. I think he's just a chill guy in general but I don't get the impression at all that he isn't excited about it.
@vacuumblink2300 That's fine, you're allowed to disagree. I'm not saying he did a bad job it's just he doesn't sound like the classical voice for Knuckles. Either in the sound of his voice or Knuckles' normal speech patterns.
@@DocterBumSki Disagree that it fits Knucles' character better too, maybe Sonic Boom Knuckles. Classic Knuckles was just gullible, not a dumb jungle bumpkin. Idris did fine and they clearly redesigned Knuckles for this universe, which is okay, but don't try to pretend what they have in the movies is anywhere near original Knuckles in speech pattern and overall demeanor. And old school fans have a right to take issue with those changes, especially considering how faithful they have been most everywhere else.
Being able to voice the same character must be a godsend. Especially if everyone loves it. Then you just get to have a bit of fun with it without worrying too much.
My kids running around the house saying "I'm one million per cent muscle" and "break glass in case of emergency!"
Adorable

Idris subtly referring to working on Cyberpunk with Keanu ❤️
i was looking for this comment
Wonder if they actually worked in close proximity. Apparently Cherami never met Reeves while recording lines.
Idk why but after Knuckles gets beat up in Shizuoka at the beginning of the film, and Sonic asks if he’s okay and he says “No. Not really”. I love that specific delivery haha

There's another video game character that Idris fits perfectly for, and that's Dudley from Street Fighter.
ONE, TWO
GUTTER TRASH
Just looked him up and I can tell Idris is perfect just by looking at him
Since there’s a live action Street Fighter movie in the works this is a very real possibility
@@rycalamo2684 Yeah, but they'll probably ruin by only focusing on Street Fighter II that everyone is sick and tired of, and it could be woke.
@@ElAssoWipe-o If Vega isnt a misogynistic person and a pervert male then yes it will be woke.
Idris elba: I'm the knuckles!
His son: wow thats amazing 😮
The rock: im maui!
His daughter: no you're not 🤨
I remember being iffy on Idris playing Knuckles when he first made the announcement. Now though he has become my favorite version of Knuckles and just enjoying watching him in movies.
His knuckles is easily the best the character has ever sounded. He captures the character’s personality through voice perfectly
Here after watching the movie and tbh knuckles might have been my favourite character, the humor with him being a fish out of water while STILL being an actual threat and battle smart is amazing ❤
Idris Elba as Knuckles is AMAZING. ❤️
Sonic The Hedgehog 3 is gonna be one heck of a movie. Only 8 days left. 🌀🆚⚫

He gets it, this is the chad Elba
Idris: I can correct the mistakes I had from the last film.
Me, a huge Sonic nerd: WHAT MISTAKES, YOU WERE PERFECT.
This man's inspired me and his entire career is amazing I named my Son Idris after him. Favourite Actor and Producer

We must help Sonic The Hedgehog 3 get more than 1 Billion Box Office for defeat Mario movie Box Office.
Yes we can we are sonic heroes!

Such a chill guy
2:35 it's nice to see Idris referencing his work on cyberpunk with keanu
This have to be one of the most perfect casting decisions ever had been made in Hollywood, Idris is perfect for Knuckles
I want him to voice Tigerclaw/star in the Warriors cat show. I think his voice fits him perfectly ❤
This casting would be so peak
Wait there's a Warrior Cats show??!?!
@@PenguinTunes_1 Not yet but one's being made, its with Coolabi and Tencent Video 😁
SONIC FANS RISE UP
🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🆙🆙🆙🆙🆙🆙🆙🆙🆙🆙🆙
Idris is the perfect Knuckles
Idk what he means by “make up for mistakes from the other one.” What mistakes?
England is proud to have a legend in the Sonic fraternity
It is now the only voice I can read Knuckles as 🤣
But his Knuckles voice is literally just his own speaking voice
It’s A bit deeper than Elba’s voice.
@@bobo577More melodramatic as well
He changes his cadence a lot for Knuckles and he hits the comedic lines very well
Such a great cast
"Season 1" bro confirmed a TV show
Knuckles has been and still is my favorite character. Honestly, him being voiced by the sexiest man in cinema is what "perfect casting" really is
Love this man! Amazing actor and I LOVE him as knuckles! ❤
My boy let season 2 slip😂.
this is a good year to be a sonic fan
Idris as knuckles is such a peak voice
i really really hope they'll give idris a chaotix show or movie because i think he'd love to be in it
Genuinely one of the best casting choices of my lifetime
This is legit too good
Never knew he voiced knuckles, but i always been like dang he gotta cool voice
“Keanu and I have voiced something separately than this” I am guessing Idris isn’t able to say Cyberpunk in an interview for a children’s movie.
best sonic movie yet! i think its mostly cause its based on the best sonic game ever, not in terms of units sold, but in loveable story, characters and settings. i wonder if the movies will now follow video games and all decline in quality after sonic adventure 2 arc.

His voice sounds like a royal knight
He's gonna have to do the knuckles rap
He's literally the best Knuckles
i bet he is proud of that roll
I love how he doesnt mention cyberpunk because kids might come across this lol
We need more DCI Luther 😭
100% 🔥🔥🔥
Oh yeah Knuckles got the best VA of all time
I'd bet his kid is the whole reason he's stuck around in these sonic movies.
I think he doesn’t really care about playing Knuckles like he doesn’t hate the role or anything but it’s not the greatest thing he’s ever done and he prefers to be in the film itself than just recording a voice
He did for his son, I’d say that’s very commendable and sweet.
Yes you do have to worry about your expressions, voice acting is not just talking into a mic like you’re reading a book in class.

Anyone notice how he seems to call sonic “knuckles” ? Lol
