It’s the sequel that’ll surprise no one but will excite everyone. Sonic the Hedgehog is officially getting a sequel.

Paramount Pictures and Sega Sammy have confirmed they have started developing on a sequel to the live-action video game adaptation that delighted fans and newbies.

The sequel would reteam the filmmakers, with Jeff Fowler directing, and Pat Casey and Josh Miller writing the script.

While casting is not yet announced, hopefully fans will see the return of Ben Schwartz, James Marsden, Tika Sumpter and Jim Carrey.

Neal H. Moritz, Toby Ascher and Toru Nakahara are confirmed as producers, while Hajime Satomi, Haruki Satomi and Tim Miller are executive producing.

Based on the popular video game franchise from Sega, the first film, released February 2020, tells the story of the world’s speediest hedgehog as he embraces his new home on Earth. Sonic (voiced by Ben Schwartz) and his new best friend Tom (played by James Marsden) team up to defend the planet from the evil genius Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) as he plots world domination. The family-friendly pic also stars Tika Sumpter.

Upon its release, Sonic the Hedgehog scored the No. 1 opening weekend of all time for a movie based on a video game, and boasted the fourth-best Presidents Day weekend début.

Former genius and a woman of mystery and power, whose power is exceeded only by her mystery, Dana Abercrombie has been watching movies since birth (yes birth...we did say "genius"). Despite her secret desire of wanting to give it all up to become a gorgeous billionaire, Dana is most passionate politics about movies often times getting in many heated debates resulting in being thrown out of many gatherings. Despite having a degree in English AND Journalism (multi-tasking FTW!) from the University at Albany-SUNY, she is currently interested in perusing a degree at Yale Law School, because one should never give up on a dream of becoming a gorgeous billionaire...and knowing how to sue someone as a result of those heated debates.
