Malik Bentalha, the French Sonic
In the country of transpositions of video games to the cinema, the first Sonic had already been strong with a worldwide box office of more than 319 million dollars. Sonic 2 does even better as the film has collected over $401 million worldwide.
The film mixes animated characters with real-life actors. In original version, comedian Ben Schwartz (Parks and Recreation) vocalizes Sonic while Idris Elba (The Suicide Squad, Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw, The Wire) lends his tone to the menacing Knuckles. The VF of the film has recruited comedian and actor Malik Bentalha to do the French voice of Sonic.
