Fans react to Idris Elba stating he's not making Knuckles sexy in 'Sonic The Hedgehog 2'

Have you ever thought about a cartoon echidna’s sex appeal? Don’t answer that. Just know that many people are after Idris Elba said Knuckles wouldn’t be sexy in Sonic The Hedgehog 2. At least, he doesn’t think so.

However, the fans of both Knuckles and Elba seem to disagree already. Can you blame them? People Magazine  called him The Sexiest Man Alive in 2018, after all. Imagine holding that title and thinking people are just going to shrug off your claim that Knuckles won’t have a sexy tinge to his voice? The nerve! 

You can watch Elba make this ludicrous statement for yourself below.

"I wouldn't say he was sexy. I don't think I'm going for that. That's for sure."

Sonic The Hedgehog 2  isn’t due out in theaters until April 8, 2022. So we’ll know for sure if Elba is telling the truth or just teasing everyone.

Safe to say, the reaction to Elba’s comments has ranged from chuckle-worthy to gut-bustlingly hilarious. Some fans are not buying it, while others claim they won’t see the film now, while others just shared plenty of good old memes. Check out the reactions for yourself below.
