‘Sonic The Hedgehog’ Banner Offers Best Look Yet At Official Redesign

A newly-surfaced banner for the live-action Sonic the Hedgehog movie offers fans the best look yet at the titular speedster’s design.

The Sonic The Hedgehog banner was spotted by a fan this past weekend and reveals Sonic’s redesign for his live-action debut. In the banner, Sonic The Hedgehog looks considerably less “realistic” than he looked like when the trailer for his movie premiered earlier this year.

Sonic looks much more like his video game counterpart here. The blue hedgehog also appears to be shorter and not human-like. Instead, Sonic’s runner’s physique has been replaced with shorter, beefier legs and his torso is bigger than before. This lines up very well with how Sonic looks like in the video games.

Earlier this summer, when the Sonic The Hedgehog trailer was released to the public, fans were disappointed to find out that Sonic wasn’t rocking his classic look. This led to much ridicule at Sonic’s design and the film in general. After listening to fans, Paramount Pictures and the film’s director decided to push the project back and make Sonic The Hedgehog look the best they could.

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. Adam Pally, Natasha Rothwell, Debs Howard, and Elfina Luk also star in undisclosed roles.

Sonic the Hedgehog hits theaters on February 14, 2020. Stay tuned for the latest news on the Sonic movie!
