Hoo boy, that Sonic the Hedgehog movie is coming out next year and a motion poster was just revealed, teasing what "The Fastest Thing Alive" is going to look like in live-action. We can see a shape for the character and his signature red shoes but the fur and eyes clearly look different, which might not sit well with fans. Still, if Detective Pikachu can change people's minds, this could too.
IGN not only revealed the motion poster via their Instagram, which can be seen below, but they were also able to talk about Sonic's new look with the team behind it. The creative team will be taking a page from the book of Detective Pikachu by making Sonic look more "realistic," which could be a problem or a positive, depending on the final image and first trailer.
Tim Miller, the film's producer and director of the first Deadpool movie, said that the goal was to make Sonic look more realistic. The fur will also be a big factor for the character since he will basically be naked if they don't give him that. Once again, it worked for Pikachu and might be a good look for Sonic. Hopefully, he doesn't look like the werehog in Sonic Unleashed.
Miller also mentions major changes made to Sonic's eyes, which he claims made Sega a bit unhappy because they're making him look more realistic rather than Pixar-like. We've all seen Sonic's eyes in the cartoons and video games so this is going to take some getting used to.
Sonic the Hedgehog comes out on November 08, 2019.
