While we're still patiently waiting for the arrival of Ryan Reynolds'
Pokémon: Detective Pikachu, Paramount Pictures has released the first official trailer for the live-action
Sonic the Hedgehog movie.
Considering that many fans of the Sega-created video game series have been seriously worried about
Sonic's design in the movie, the good news is that the blue speedster doesn't look like that rightfully forgotten, nightmare-fueling
Monster Trucks movie. Said trailer also officially introduces us to Jim Carrey's villainous Dr. Robotnik – and it seems that at least Mr. Carrey had some fun making the flick.
Sonic the Hedgehog is helmed by Jeff Fowler (
Gopher Broke, Where the Wild Things Are), starring Ben Schwartz (
Modern Family, DuckTales), James Marsden (
Enchanted, X-Men: The Last Stand), Tika Sumpter (
Ride Along, Think Like a Man), Neal McDonough (
Captain America: The First Avenger, Band of Brothers), Adam Pally (
Californication, Taking Woodstock), and Jim Carrey (
Liar Liar, Bruce Almighty).
Without further ado, be sure to take a closer look at the world and core characters of
Sonic the Hedgehog in the Jeff Fowler-directed film's first action-packed trailer and colorful poster down below:
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.
Sonic the Hedgehog will be released in US cinemas on November 8, 2019.
