Tika Sumpter reprises her role as Maddie in the upcoming Sonic The Hedgehog 3 action adventure. The entire cast returns for another mission to save the world from an unexpected adversary, “Shadow,” portrayed by the talented newcomer Keanu Reeves. Sumpter shares her experiences working on set and delves into the significance of these films for both children and adults who grew up with the Sonic games. She explains how the new Sonic movies are generational for kids today while evoking nostalgia for adults who cherished the games in their youth.
The film features our beloved Sonic character favorites, including Jim Carrey as Doctor Eggman, Ben Schwartz as Sonic, Idris Elba as Knuckles, and James Marsden as Sonic’s father, Tom. I also believe that one of the most significant lessons conveyed in the movie is through Tika’s character, who advises Sonic to “make good choices.” This is a valuable message that everyone, regardless of age, should take away from this generational movie.
