SONIC THE HEDGEHOG Concept Art Shows The Speedster Fighting Alongside AVENGERS Star Chris Evans As Tom

An early piece of concept art from Sonic the Hedgehog points to Chris Evans being a top contender to play Tom in the video game adaptation, while we also have some shots of a mysterious bird-like creature!

Sonic the Hedgehog has massively exceeded expectations at the box office, and it now appears as if we can look forward to an entire series of movies based around the iconic SEGA character. 

Now, though, an early piece of concept art from the movie has been revealed which shows Sonic - the classic version, not that hideous redesign - in the midst of a bar fight with Tom. However, rather than being played by James Marsden, this take on the heroic Detective features the likeness of Avengers: Endgame star Chris Evans! 

We don't know whether Evans is someone director Jeff Fowler originally wanted for the role, but it definitely would have been fun seeing the former Captain America fighting alongside Sonic! Still, there's no denying that Marsden did an excellent job, and he proved to be a perfect choice for Tom.

There's also some artwork depicting a Lizard-like character which could be a new take on Lyric from Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric. To check that out, you'll need to hit the "Next" button below!

While he was depicted as a snake in the video games, it's entirely possible that this is supposed to be a reimagined and slightly more "realistic" take on the monstrous Lyric. 

Over the years, he's been depicted as quite a bit darker and power-hungry than Dr. Eggman.

Having been driven mad by power, Lyric is an extremely cruel, ruthless, manipulative, and pitiless monster. He's also a tech-savvy mastermind, but this version seems to be a little more magical.

We don't know who the villain will be in the Sonic the Hedgehog sequel, but one of the post-credits scenes definitely dropped some noteworthy hints...

Well if you can't get Captain America's help, I guess Cyclops is the next best choice

The Lizards depicted in the concept art have nothing to do with Lyric. They were the original villains that go after Longclaw and Sonic near the start of the movie, though they were replaced by Knuckles’ race during the delayed release.

@LittleSween - I wonder if Sonic will be at odds with Knuckles in the sequel because of that
