Events Check Out The Photos From The Global Premiere of Knuckles in London

[Dreadknux]

Tonight, Paramount held a special press event to celebrate the upcoming launch of its Sonic movie spinoff TV series, 'Knuckles'. A gaggle of press and media were invited to London's Leicester Square, the bustling home of movie premieres, to experience a segment of the show - and maybe catch a glimpse of megastar Idris Elba in the process.

We would have gone to this ourselves, but it seems that someone at Paramount lost our invite in the mail, or accidentally fed it to their dog or something. Oh well, there's always next time!

In the meantime, check out some cool photos from the event below.

Attendees got to experience a portion of the six-hour episodic adventure in the best way possible - with a massive cinema screen! You can see an image above to get a sense of the scale here. There were also opportunities to meet and greet with certain special guests, as well as a wandering Knuckles mascot that posed for photos!

Of course, it wouldn't have been much of a premiere without the man of the hour present. Idris Elba, famed actor and voice of Knuckles the Echidna, took the time to hit the red carpet and engage in some interviews with the press. Elba seemed in quite good spirits throughout the entire event - it's clear that he had a lot of fun working on this project with Paramount.

Knock, knock, it's Knuckles (& Knuckles)! The voice of the new porcupine on the block with the buff chest, standing alongside the actual echidna himself. Knuckles (the red one) also had a lot of fun mincing about the venue, taking photos with cast, crew and attendees alike. There was nowhere this echidna wouldn't go to photobomb - he truly had an all-access pass for the event!

Finally, as attendees were getting ready to sit down and enjoy the show inside, the press were still scrambling for photos with the cast and crew - and one eagle-eyed watcher managed to catch the moment where Adam Pally (Wade Whipple) gave Idris Elba a loving embrace on the red carpet. You can also see Sonic movie director Jeff Fowler present.

All in all, it looked like the premiere was a whole lot of fun! Did you attend the event, or know someone who did? Feel free to share your photos here with your fellow Sonic fan and spread the excitement!

Knuckles starts streaming on Paramount+ from April 26 (or April 27, if you live in the UK it seems).
