Sonic the Hedgehog 2 star Ben Schwartz has spilled the beans on what fans can expect from the hotly-anticipated sequel.
The Parks and Recreation actor will once again voice the eponymous character, returning for a new adventure alongside new addition Knuckles, voiced by Luther star Idris Elba.
Schwartz was fairly tight-lipped about celebrity cameos, but praised his confirmed co-stars' performances and teased a bigger scale movie compared to the first Sonic outing.

"Oh, you want me to absolutely destroy everything that's happening in this movie, for the sequel that's coming out in three months? The thing that everybody's been making me not talk about for two years, you want me to destroy?" Schwartz joked in an interview with ComicBook.com.
"This is what I'll say, we've got Colleen O'Shaughnessey, who was from the video game and played Tails, she plays Tails, Idris Elba's Knuckles, they're both awesome in it and they look awesome. Jim Carrey is incredible in it," he continued.
He then added: "Incredible guest stars. Natasha Rothwell, who's a powerhouse of a comedian, Adam Pally, who worked with [The Afterparty co-star] Sam [Richardson] and who's worked with me before, is in it and incredibly funny in it."
"And I can't tell you anything, but I will say, I've watched it many times and we've done a billion records, it is huge," Schwartz said.
"It is epic. In terms of size, compared to the first one, this is a movie, this is a film, this is a movie-film."
A "movie-film"? Now we're even more excited for it!
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is set to be released in cinemas on April 8.
