Sonic The Hedgehog 2 dropped a new trailer today ahead of the Super Bowl and it snuck a fun Marvel reference in there. As Sonic is snowboarding down a mountain, Robotnik is giving chase before deploying Knuckles the Echidna to deal with the blue blur. The hedgehog calls him the Winter Soldier as he tries to shake him. It’s a fun nod to Sonic and Knuckles dynamic from the series’ lore. Usually the red creature is used as a foil for the main character, and even more commonly, the echidna might be under the control of Eggman or at least being deceived. It’s a gas to see the snowboarding sections of Sonic’s adventures rendered on the big screen. The first movie did well to lean into those choices and the second film seems to be doubling down on giving fans some of that familiar energy here. Check out the new spot for yourself down below.
Bengals or Rams? We have no idea, but the Hedgehog can take ‘em both. 👀 Check out the new BIG GAME spot for #SonicMovie2. pic.twitter.com/P7GyiZLMBw
