Sonic 2 Director on the Post-Credits Scene and Finding Knuckles’ Voice

With Sonic the Hedgehog 2 opening in theaters this weekend, I recently got to speak with director Jeff Fowler about the anticipated sequel. During the interview, Fowler talked about what it’s like in the editing room and trying to pick the best Jim Carrey take, how they figured out the way Idris Elba would voice Knuckles, the toughest stuff to do in the sequel, deleted scenes, what was it like working with Paramount and Sega, and if he’s interested in directing Sonic 3.
