Shemar Moore officially joins ‘Sonic 2’ movie cast
Former 'Criminal Minds' star joins as filming continues in Hawaii
The Sonic 2 movie is looking more exciting by the day. After the successful box office performance of the first film, it was inevitable we got a sequel. The ending of the first movie basically spelled it out for us.
Shemar Moore, best known for the role of Derek Morgan on CBS’ Criminal Minds and Hondo on S.W.A.T., recently revealed on his Instagram that he is joining the cast of Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
This was also confirmed by the official Sonic Movie Twitter.

Moore joins the all-star cast of James Marsden, Tika Sumpter, and Natasha Rothwell as filming for Sonic 2 continues in Hawaii. It is still early to make assumptions on what his role in the film will be.
Reelnewshawaii on Twitter has been keeping the masses updated on the current filming process in Hawaii, so go give them a follow to keep up with the production of Sonic 2.

It’s still a long ways before we’ll get a trailer for the sequel, but we’ll rest knowing that filming has been going smoothly, as far as we know. Maybe by the holiday season we’ll see the fate of Sonic and friends in this anticipated sequel.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 will release in theaters on April 8, 2022.
