In the second of three interview clips with James Marsden, the actor talks about how the world of ‘Sonic’ gets much bigger in ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 2‘.
“Everything just got… multiplied times 1,000 this time around. The action sequences are crazier,” Marsden reveals.
A lot of Marsden’s scenes were shot in Hawaii for the sequel as his character Tom goes to Hawaii with Maddie (Tika Sumpter) for Rachel’s (Natasha Rothwell) wedding.
“I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy that. It was nice being on a sandy beach in Hawaii and shooting a movie,” Marsden says. “If you complain about that, you have a problem!”
So what can fans expect? Marsden teases, “This movie takes everything from the first film and multiplies it. The scope has increased and the scale of the set pieces and these crazy action sequences.”
The synopsis for ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 2’ is:
