2022's is shaping up as a big year for Sonic. Alongside a 3D animated Netflix series, Sonic Prime, we're also looking forward to the live-action Sonic The Hedgehog film sequel. Aiming for an April 8th 2022 release, Sega released a brief "Title Announcement" trailer last month and slowly, we've been getting more information.
Taking to Twitter, Jeff Fowler, director of both films, confirmed that production has now officially begun, as of yesterday. It lines up with previous rumours about a March start, after documents filed through the British Columbia Film Commission back in November suggested as much.
Sadly, Fowler's not offering any new story details yet, though that's not especially surprising. All we know is that Tails will be appearing, Eggman and the Wachowskis are back, whilst Knuckles is also rumoured. If Ben Schwartz is to be believed, we're in for an "awesome" time when it does arrive.

Tails is voiced by Danny DeVito.
Tails, voiced by Michael Cera
Looking forward to it. Sonic was an entertaining watch. Nothing more but nothing less imo.
@TheFrenchiestFry He has such a perfectly dorky quality that seemingly lines up with Tails so well. Not even a Sonic fan but I can see the potential!
if there really doing this part 1 2 3 thing, the next movie will be Sonic and Knuckles, while knuckles will make a cameo in the end or somthing.
i've never been a huge Sonic fan (aside from the Genesis games) but I was pleasantly surprised by the first film. Cannot wait to see this one!!
Amy Rose and Blaze the Cat will make a cameo in the after-credits scene of this new movie.
Looks like they got tails look correct.
@Snatcher They are numbering according to the number of movie entry they made of it, not because they are replicating the game series. I'm sure they are only planning for 3 movies at this point.
Looking forward to the Sonic 3 & Knuckles movie... split into two parts. For those viewers that buy into it, you get to rewatch Sonic 2 but with Knuckles instead of Sonic as the protagonist.
Really that's great, moving swiftly on!!
Heck yes. I cannot wait.
I got $5 that say “Egg Man” by The Beastie Boys will make it to this movie’s soundtrack.
@Lord and his eyes aren't too small like the original sonic xD
Hey, universe! Can you PLEEEEEEEASE make 2D animation in vogue again! Im talking full length movies! I’m so tired of all of this CGI. No more stories with wisecracking sidekicks. Dialogue full of puns. No trio of little creatures or babies. Don’t be afraid to paint cities or countries in a negative way, if there’s “clean up” at some point. How about some trailers that are artful. That stirs emotions. Raises questions. Not make me tap my foot over a pop song, or, more likely, have me rolling my eyes. While I look at an onslaught of jokes. STOP WITH THE MOVIE POSTERS OF THE CHARACTERS BLOWN UP, WITH A PUN OR SOMETHING “HIP” ABOVE THEIR HEADS!!!!
It feels like, during the 2000’s, CGI was making some great improvements, story wise. There were a lot of movies that walked the line of being for everybody in a family and did it well. Now.... 😐
I took my now 7 year old to see the Sonic movie. I went with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised. My son loved Sonic and ‘Donut Lord. I was happy for the nostalgia filled SEGA logo at the beginning, filled with clips from old games, the nostalgic credits at the end and 1994 era Jim Carrey 😁
I found that the sonic movie fell into that weird void, where it was not "bad" enough to make fun of, but also not "good" enough to make me want to watch it again. At the end of the day, it's geared towards kids, so it doesn't really matter what I think!
I so hope that we will see Amy in a later movie ^3^
Jim Carrey said it was one of his favorite roles he's ever done. Pretty high praise from a comedy legend!
Nice. I actually enjoyed the movie, and I’m pumped for the sequel.
@nessisonett I used to love Danny DeVito until I worked with a guy who probably was his clone considering how similar they looked, and he was a complete arsehole. I still love DeVito but it makes me want tu punch my former colleague every time I see him on screen.
@Rhaoulos You worked with Jason Alexander?
