A number of high-profile Hollywood names have been added to the cast of the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 4.
Variety confirmed that Ben Kingsley and Nick Offerman will have voice roles, suggesting they will play anthropomorphic and/or robotic roles rather than human characters. The publication also listed comedic British actors Matt Berry and Richard Ayoade as new additions to the cast.
Plot details for the fourth installment are still unknown.
Last month, Kristen Bell was revealed to be the voice of Amy Rose, the pink hedgehog with a major crush on Sonic.
Other returning cast members include Colleen O’Shaughnessey, Idris Elba, and Keanu Reeves, who voice Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow respectively. Jim Carrey is back as main villain Dr. Robotnik, James Marsden and Tika Sumpter return as Sonic’s adopted parental figures, and Lee Majdoub will once again play Agent Stone.
