AceShowbiz - "Sonic the Hedgehog" is to return for a sequel after the original smashed the U.S. record for the biggest video game movie opening of all time.
Paramount Pictures and Sega Sammy confirmed on Thursday, May 28, 2020 that they've started work on a follow-up film, which will bring back Jeff Fowler as director and Pat Casey and Josh Miller as scriptwriters.
The first film starred James Marsden and Jim Carrey and featured the voice of Ben Schwartz as the world's speediest hedgehog, but decisions have yet to be made on casting for the next film.
News of a sequel comes as little surprise given the immense success of "Sonic the Hedgehog', which beat previous record holder "Detective Pikachu" by almost $3 million upon its release.
