The Sonic The Hedgehog Movie Is Getting A Sequel

The Sonic the Hedgehog movie, which is Mostly Fine, did well enough that a sequel is already in development.

kotaku.com

Paramount and Sega confirmed the news to Varietythis afternoon, and while it’s too early for casting announcements (though you’d expect at least Jim Carrey, James Marsden and Sonic’s voice Ben Schwartz to be back), the same core team behind the first film—director Jeff Fowler and writers Pat Casey and Josh Miller—are returning.

 

[Nester99]

They sure dodged a bullet by redoing the cgi before this came out.

 

[Guy_who_thinks_hes_cool]

sorry, I know they already have an actor playing knuckles, anyone know who it is?

 

[Dargor]

Wow, the movie did this well? Really glad they got rewarded for trying to make the fans happy.

 

[Falcs]

Sweet. I really liked the first one.
Soooo damn glad they changed the CGI.

 

[NeoGiffer]

 

[Azelover]

They sure dodged a bullet by redoing the cgi before this came out.

Yeah, and they dodged Covid... by a string of hair!

 

[Dacon]

duh

 

[Nankatsu]

 

[ValiantTraveler]

Time for Ugandan Knuckles to join the fray.

 

[BusierDonkey]

Yeah, and they dodged Covid... by a string of hair!

I'm not surprised. Sonic was is too fast for some shitty virus.

 

[Zephir]

Best news...and less than two weeks till the bluray of the first one

 

[Azelover]

I'm not surprised. Sonic was is too fast for some shitty virus.

Yeah

I think it was cut off just exactly where it needed to be.

They were lucky!! For sure..

 

[DonF]

I mean the ending says it all (or was it a post credits scene I can't remember)

 

[digital_ghost]

I have a feeling the plot will revolve around this guy.

Sonic's evil monstrosity clone gone wrong created by Dr Robotnick.

 

[Codes 208]

The after credits endings with Tails appearing and Eggman vowing revenge were pure sequel-bait (and a nod to the fanbase)

But good news nonetheless. I wonder if Jim Carrey will continue the role of Eggman (Since he has a tendency to not wanting to replay roles)

 

[-Arcadia-]

I’m okay with this.

First movie seems to have garnered quite a bit of positivity, and seems like something worth checking out.

 

[Fake]

Yes sir. Put Tails and Knuckles this time.

 

[Grinchy]

I feel like they should hold Knuckles back for a part 3. Then, once that is done, they can start adding the horrible characters no one actually likes.

 

[MDSLKTR]

The amount of dads that brought their kids to the theater was wholesome to see. Just the opening credits were a joy to see if you like Sega.

 

[Saber]

Yeah, take advantage of the momentum. The film was a fair hit, so it should be used as a more friendly approach other than some trashy Sonic games. I'm all for it.

 

[DeafTourette]

Yes! Best movie I've watched in theaters this year!

 

[ShirAhava]

You know what this sequel really needs?

Cream.

Cream the Rabbit.

Cream. The. Rabbit.

 

[mortal]

It was surprisingly enjoyable.

Tails & Knuckles for the sequel?

 

[Carna]

kind of chessy as hell, but the sonic fan in me really enjoyed it.

 

[Starcheif]

I watched this movie tonight with the kid was great fun.

 

[carlosrox]

I really enjoyed it and I'm glad it's getting a sequel.

It was legitimately charming, cute, and fun.

Put me down for some Tails action.

 

[MasterCornholio]

I'm happy they changed Sonics design. The 1st one was just creepy IMO.

 

[levyjl1988]

Who would have thought that this movie when it first showed how hideous the CGI was would do so damn well and be even better than Star Wars The Rise of the Skywalker.

 

[goldenpp72]

I'm curious how it goes. The way they spoke it seemed like they wanted to go more fantasy with it but lacked the budget, and while it made money it didn't make so much that a bigger budget sequel makes a ton of sense. I hope they can go more abstract while still making it appealing.

 

[Coily]

Good.
First one was surprisingly good,

Much deserved

 

[Arachnid]

Give me Knuckles and Shadow!

Especially Shadow. Dude was my fucking hero when I was a kid. I even named my first pet after him like a basic idiot.

 

[CaptainSuperFish]

I really didn't like the first one. Humor didn't stock for me and I found the writing awful, glad it saw some success but definitely not for me.

 

[nkarafo]

I see where this is going. Lots of sequels and lots of Sonic Friends in the future. Just like what we loved about the games, right?

 

[ZywyPL]

Nice, I really liked to first one, looking forward for the sequel. Would love to see R&C or WoW sequels as well.

 

[its_Ditz]

.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

They listened to the fans so it deserves success. A shame about the studio shutting down who fixed the mess they put themselves in though.

 

[Kharnivore2099]

I enjoyed it. It was terrible in many ways, but that's just cinema for you. I'm happy that it's getting a sequel.

 

[Kenpachii]

Was decent, nothing special.

 

[Orta]

The amount of dads that brought their kids to the theater was wholesome to see. Just the opening credits were a joy to see if you like Sega.

There were plenty of single 30/40 somethings desperately looking to borrow their nephews, nieces, cousins etc to bring along

 

[Starlight Lotice]

The ending kind of hinted at this really.

I hope that they make it more like the games to be honest as I felt that the movie didn't explore the games as much as I hoped despite being enjoyable.

 

[azz0r]

Now we just never a decent sonic game.

 

[Kadve]

Hopefully this will be an adaption of sonic 3/knuckles then. They have every piece in place after all. (even if they will probably want to add humans to it and i'm not sure how that would work)

 

[Diddy X]

Yeah of course after those ending scenes.

 

[deriks]

Hopefully this will be an adaption of sonic 3/knuckles then. They have every piece in place after all. (even if they will probably want to add humans to it and i'm not sure how that would work)

Maybe for one thing or another, and to keep the friendship thing on, but I can easily see Knuckles getting betrayed by Robotnik, Sonic searching for emeralds, a mini-boss with Tails holding Sonic, and, for the money shot, Super Sonic

I'M TROWING MONEY AT THE SCREEN RIGHT NOW (with mask)

 

[infinitys_7th]

sorry, I know they already have an actor playing knuckles, anyone know who it is?

 

[Team Andromeda]

Awesome news, the 1st film was ace

 

[Hendrick's]

I know it won't happen, but I would love them to leave the real world out of this one.

 

[Doom85]

I wonder if Jim Carrey will continue the role of Eggman (Since he has a tendency to not wanting to replay roles)

Jim Carrey Wants to Wear a Fat Suit for ‘Sonic the Hedgehog’ Sequel

Sonic writer Pat Casey reveals possible sequel details and says audiences "would have gotten on board with" Sonic's original design had it not changed.

Sounds like Carrey's fully on board.

 

[VGEsoterica]

Awesome news. Sonic went from a disaster to a hit with just the cgi tweaks
