Sonic the Hedgehog sequel has confirmed a fan favourite character will return for the upcoming chapter.

Lee Majdoub is set to reprise his role as Agent Stone in the sequel. The official Twitter account for Sonic the Hedgehog shared the news with fans of the franchise on National Coffee Day (September 29).

The faces of Majdoub as Stone and Jim Carrey as villain Captain Robotnik were framed in a latte mug, hinting at one of their most popular scenes in the first movie.

I’m back for #SonicMovie2!!!
What... did you really think Dr. Robotnik could do this without me? (Don’t answer that).
Anyways, Happy #NationalCoffeeDay! #SteamedAustrianGoatMilkLatte https://t.co/4OBtdZnepu

Stone is a government agent who works for scientist Robotnik. In the famous scene, Majdoub's character interrupts his boss as he's dancing in the laboratory to bring him a latte.

Like in the most classic of movie workplace dynamics, Robotnik yells at Stone... purely to let him know his lattes are the best. Credits go to that steamed Austrian goat milk, of course.

Following the official announcement, Majdoub reshared the tweet to confirm the news.

"What... did you really think Dr. Robotnik could do this without me? (Don't answer that)." the actor wrote.

Majdoub and Carry are just the latest actors who have been confirmed for the new Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movie.

Ben Schwartz will be returning to lend his voice once again to the speedy hedgehog, while James Marsden and Tika Sumpter will also be reprising their roles in the new film.

Along with these returning characters, it has been confirmed that Knuckles will indeed be in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. After plenty of speculation about who should play the red echidna, it is official: the new-yet-familiar character will be voiced by Idris Elba.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is due for release on April 8, 2022. The first film is out now on Blu-ray, DVD and streaming.

Fuming locals hit with £10k bill after breaking bizarre fence rule
Residents living by a picturesque marina have been ordered to pay £10,000 for a new fence - to stop them helping boat users with their shopping. People living in Albion Mill in Worcester have been banned from passing bags over the existing railings. To avoid a 20-minute walk carrying heavy bags, boat owners leave their shopping at metal railings on the opposite side of the pontoon where their boats are moored. They then walk around the apartments to access Diglis Marina and have their bags passed over the railings by kind-hearted Albion Mill residents. Apartment managers now plan to erect a 2m (6.5ft) high 35m (114ft) long fence to block off the pontoon after two people complained about boat owners trespassing. They say the current practice means boat owners access a private car park and say some people have been climbing over the metal railings. But furious residents claim they are being punished for helping boat owners.
