Sonic the Hedgehog will finally arrive in theatres on February 14th. The live-action video game movie stars Ben Schwartz as the titular speedster and Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik. Jeff Fowler directs and the cast also includes James Marsden and Tika Sumpter.
With the upcoming movie less than a month away from release, brief promotional clips have begun to air on TV and surface online. One of the newest TV spots seems to suggest that the movie will feature an appearance by Super Sonic — that's the name that Sonic goes by when he's powered up by the Chaos Emeralds. Super Sonic is capable of flight and all manner of exciting abilities.
Amidst the action-packed shots of the titular speedster taking on Dr. Robotnik's drones; at one point in the below TV spot, Super Sonic is outright namedropped and we can only hope it's an intentional tease done by the marketing team and not coincidental. Check it out below (via

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.
