New concept art from Sonic The Hedgehog shows off Avengers star Chris Evans in one of the lead roles alongside the blue speedster.
While Sonic The Hedgehog seems to be doing well in theaters, newly-revealed concept art reveals Avengers star Chris Evans in the other lead role instead of James Marsden. The concept art pictures Chris Evans as Tom Wachowski, Sonic’s human best friend who helps him fight Dr. Robotnik throughout the film. Critics have praised James Marsden’s performance in Sonic The Hedgehog, but it would have been interesting to see what Chris Evans would have done with the role.
The new Sonic The Hedgehog concept art was unearthed by a Twitter user and pictures Chris Evans alongside the infamous original design for the blue speedster. It shows the duo stood back to back ready to brawl as a bar fight erupts around them. Sonic is also wearing a shirt for some reason, but it’s interesting to see Chris Evans as Tom in the film. Take a look at Avengers star Chris Evans in the concept art for Sonic The Hedgehog below.

Here is the official synopsis for Sonic the Hedgehog:
SONIC THE HEDGEHOG is a live-action adventure comedy based on the global blockbuster video game franchise from Sega that centres on the infamously brash bright blue hedgehog. The film follows the (mis)adventures of Sonic as he navigates the complexities of life on Earth with his newfound – human – best friend Tom Wachowski (James Marsden). Sonic and Tom join forces to try and stop the villainous Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) from capturing Sonic and using his immense powers for world domination.
Directed by Jeff Fowler from a script written by Patrick Casey, Josh Miller, and Oren Uziel, Sonic the Hedgehog features the voice talent of Ben Schwartz as the titular character and stars James Marsden as sheriff Tom Wachowski, Jim Carrey as Dr. Ivo Robotnik, Neal McDonough as US Army Major Bennington, Tika Sumpter as Mrs. Wachowski, Lee Majdoub as Stone, and Frank C. Turner as Crazy Carl.
