Fans Want Dwayne Johnson For A Key Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Role, And He’d Be Great

On spec, casting Dwayne Johnson as Knuckles the Echidna isn’t the craziest idea. While Sonic is known for speed, Knuckles, by comparison, is a character known for strength, so giving him a voice actor that we connect with physical strength makes some sense. And then, of course, there’s the fact that Dwayne Johnson already has a connection to the films, as The Rock was part of a popular joke in the first movie where a confused Sonic asked if The Rock had become President. So then following up the joke by actually casting him makes the joke even funnier.
