A new Sonic the Hedgehog movie is here, giving fans a first official look a the titular character’s redesign.
Earlier today, Paramount Pictures surprised fans with the second trailer for the live-action Sonic movie, revealing the blue hedgehog’s redesign. The studio was forced to give Sonic a makeover after fan backlash to the movie’s first trailer that premiered this past April, and his new look is accurate to the way he appears in the classic SEGA video games and animated series.
You can watch the second Sonic the Hedgehog trailer below.
In addition to the trailer, Paramount has also released a poster for the movie, featuring Sonic and Jim Carrey’s Dr. Robotnik.

Here is the official synopsis for the Sonic the Hedgehog movie:
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 opens in theaters on February 14, 2020! Stay tuned for the latest news regarding the film and Jim Carrey!
