Months back, Paramount Pictures released the first trailer for their live-action
Sonic the Hedgehog movie and it didn't go down well with fans. Jeff Fowler, the film's director, vowed that they would delay it in order to rework the titular speedster's character design.
Today, we were graced with a new trailer for the
Sonic the Hedgehog movie and shown our first look at the redone design — it's great. The trailer has been well-received by fans — especially in comparison to the previous one. The cast features James Marsden, Jim Carrey, and Ben Schwartz.
The latter actor recently took to Twitter to comment on the film's newest trailer. Schwartz voices Sonic in the upcoming film. In his tweet about the trailer, the actor explained that he's honored to be a part of the project and can't wait for fans to see it. He also assured that the crew that are hard at work on the film are fans themselves.
"Here it is! The new @SonicMovie trailer!!! I continue to be beyond excited and honored to voice this beautiful blue blur! A lot of incredibly talented people who care about this franchise very much have made such a fun movie coming at ya February 14th! #SonicMovie," read the actor's tweet (via

The family-friendly film also stars Tika Sumpter and Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic.
