SONIC THE HEDGEHOG Sequel Gets An Official Title And Release Date Reveal Teaser

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG Sequel Gets An Official Title And Release Date Reveal Teaser

Paramount Pictures just revealed the "Groundbreaking. Thought provoking. Extremely obvious" title and release date for the Sonic the Hedgehog sequel, and you can find more details on that after the jump...

Sonic the Hedgehog was released shortly before theaters began to close, and the movie proved to be a big hit (critically as well as financially). It came as no great surprise that Paramount Pictures was working on a sequel with director Jeff Fowler, and we now have an official title and release date reveal.

There aren't too many surprises here, though!

The sequel has officially been titled Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and will be released in theaters on April 8th, 2022 (the same release date we've been hearing about for a while now). 

There's a familiar theme tune, and you'll notice that the title treatment has a fun nod to Tails. The fan-favorite fox first showed up in Sonic the Hedgehog's post-credits scene, and this is a good indication that he'll have a leading role in the sequel. Unfortunately, there's nothing here that confirms those Knuckles rumours.

Just yesterday, we heard that Paramount is eyeing Aquaman star Jason Momoa for that role, so it's likely they're waiting until he's signed up to the project before making anything official.

Check out this title and release date reveal in the promo below:

The first movie wasn't a Sonic movie. Just another lazy studio cash-grab of an iconic property, resembling almost nothing from the game, and woefully got the design wrong, leading to widespread internet ridicule, leading them to listen to backlash, redesign the character, winning back respect from fans, to critical/ commercial acclaim, 'in before the close' of a pandemic.

What a wild ride.

@Origame - Movie felt lazy and lifeless, dumbed-down for kids, not resembling the game characters on any level. Did I enjoy it overall? Yes.

But was the tumultuous post-production drama more fun than the movie? Hell yes.

@GothamSon - gotta agree. I don't think people would've called it a great movie if it wasn't for the redesign.

My son absolutely loved the first one. He's watched it at least 100 times. He'll be excited about this one.

Love the sonic music and sound FX in the teaser 👍👍

After that headline I expected it to have a surprising title like "Sonic 2: Journey to Rainbow Road" or something but that title is fine. Not everything needs a subtitle.

Haven't seen the first one yet but I'm glad it was so well recieved, more as a fan of video-game movies in generall. I like the idea of telling new stories to established material in different mediums.

We all assume the one that speeds across the screen before the title reveal is Sonic. But Sonic is Blue and the one that went across the screen was a different colour

So, in 2022 we're getting Sonic 2 and a Mario movie! 2022 is looking lit so far!

@ShellyMando - Seeing my two favorite game series getting movies in the same year has me hyped. Now the wait for Zelda movie continues.

I seriously hope they introduce the Chaos Emeralds into this one. Especially since Knuckles is going to play an integral part in the plot

@satsuinojxa - Ha! You want them to be faithful to the story of the games? Don't get your hopes up.

@GwenLantern -



Story elements such as those get added and incorporated, doesn’t mean they are going to be 100% translated from the source material.
