Moore revealed his involvement on his Instagram saying how excited is to be part of the film and sharing a photo alongside fellow cast members James Marsden, Tika Sumpter, and Natasha Rothwell. The actor did not mention any information on who he will be playing on screen but it is likely he will be voicing an animated character rather than a live-action role.

Shemar Moore is well-known for his roles as a television police officer where he starred as Derek Morgan on Criminal Minds before making the jump to the lead on CBS’ S.W.A.T. The actor is no stranger to providing his voice in animation as he has lend his voice as DC’s Cyborg in several animated films. We reported last year that Jason Momoa had been offered the voice role of Knuckles the Echidna, however it’s still unclear if he had interest in the part.

Sonic also teams up with his sidekick, Tails, and embark on an epic journey to find the emerald before it falls in the wrong hands.
