Paramount Pictures are working on a
Sonic the Hedgehog movie which will star Ben Schwartz as the titular speedster and Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik. The first trailer for the film debuted earlier this year and fans were far from pleased.
The backlash against Sonic's character design became so severe that the director of the
Sonic the Hedgehog movie took to social media to announce that they would delay it in order to redo the design (via
Gamefragger).
Some leaked images surfaced online last month and revealed our first look at the redesign. Following that, a photo of a theatre standee surfaced online and featured a design which was consistent with that of the leaked images — all but confirming that they were legitimate.
Recently, another photo of a theatre standee began doing the rounds online. This time, we get a very good look at
Sonic the Hedgehog — arguably our best look yet. He's wearing white gloves and traditional, red running shoes. Though his eyes are larger than they were, he doesn't feature the cyclops-eye of his usual design.
Check out the standee below (via

Sonic the Hedgehog will now release in theatres on February 14th, 2019.
