With a global box office gross of $320 million off of an $85 million budget, a sequel was obviously going to be blue-lit. One that expands not just on Sonic’s world, but also his Emerald Hill Zone supporting cast with the addition of Tails and everyone’s favourite echidna, Knuckles.

After proving to be massively popular at the box office, Paramount has officially announced that a sequel for Sonic the Hedgehog has been greenlit.

We have been propelled into the new decade at breakneck speed, ladies and gentlemen. The future is bright with many of our demons having been left behind in 2019. I am of course referring to Cats, and the original theatrical design of Sega’s main boy, Sonic the Hedgehog. May he not live on even as a meme. Fast forward to …

While it may have resulted in a delay for the film, director Jeff Fowler and his team took the time to give Sonic the makeover that he needed. Helped by artist Tyson Hese (Whose Boxer Hockey Sonic the Hedgehog comics from an earlier era are still pure gold), Sonic’s new look was just such a massive improvement overall. It had attitude, style and it simply pops in a manner that puts the original design to shame.

You shouted! You made internet memes! And after listening to you, going back to the drawing board and pegging a far more faithful redesign that runs closer to the source material, Sonic the Hedgehog is looking like he was always meant to: Fast, cool and ready to kick some Robuttnik. See for yourself, in the latest trailer!

Sonic the Hedgehog has a fantastic new redesign for his 2020 film debut, one that doesn't look like speedy nightmare fuel on two legs.

Following the release of the horrific Sonic the Hedgehog, our furry little blue friend is going to get a make-over before the film releases.

We're closer to seeing everyone's favourite blue hedgehog come to life in his own live-action movie with the casting of the film's human lead.
