Iblis exists in the live-action universe

The wildest reference to Sonic games is one we covered here at Kotaku already, but it is so earth-shattering we have to bring it up again here. The musical segment culminates in Wade (as Knuckles) facing a “Fire Demon” and claiming his power source called the “Flames of Disaster.” This monster appears to be Iblis, one of the main villains in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). We learn Knuckles defeated Iblis and found his superpowers were inside him the whole time, but it gets the mind racing about how or if the live-action Sonic universe will use Iblis in a future movie. It would be buck wild if they brought up this huge piece of Sonic lore just to make a Facebook Marketplace joke in a musical, right?
