When the first look at the Sonic the Hedgehog movie leaked thanks to movie posters that went viral, a lot of fans were horrified to see the wide-eyed, long-armed monstrosity that was supposed to be Sonic. Still, many held out hope that it was a false leak or just a bad poster pick, that was until the official trailer was released. The response was immediate and not in the slightest positive, but at least the memes were downright hilarious.
For those that for some reason feel like movies geared towards children erases their entire childhoods, there’s good news! The latest Sonic the Hedgehog movie leak reveals yet another look at the redesign and it is definitely a step in the right direction, despite the massive workload it likely dropped on the team’s laps.

Hopefully, everything works out for the best, both for fans and for the team behind the upcoming film. After the success of Detective Pikachu, we’re pulling for Sega to have a similar win.
According to the video’s official description, “Sonic the Hedgehog is a live-action adventure comedy based on the global blockbuster videogame franchise from Sega that centers 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. The film also stars Tika Sumpter and Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic.”
We’ll be able to see the full movie for ourselves, including how the entire world of Sonic adapts to this real-world vision when the movie drops on February 20, 2020.
Are you excited to see this hyper-realistic take on our beloved Sega hero, or do you think they won’t be able to stay true to the beloved gaming franchise? Hit us up with your thoughts over on Twitter @PrimaGames!
