As you can see from the pic above, stand in statues of Sonic The Hedgehog, Miles Tails Prower, and Knuckles have been added to help film scenes for the sequel — which has begun production and includes returning stars James Marsden and Tika Sumpter, as well as Jim Carrey as Dr. Ivo Eggman Robotnik. Jeff Fowler returns to direct, and Ben Schwatz will once again voice the role of Sonic in the sequel.

Released to unexpected critical acclaim early last year, the first Sonic movie underwent a long development process that included delaying the release of the film from its original late 2019 release due to the universal negative reactions to Sonic’s CG model used in the first trailer. As a result, Paramount Pictures and Sega delayed the film to early 2020 — and Sonic got a much more game faithful redesign that helped propel the finished product into becoming one of the highest grossing movies based on a video game.

Speaking of classic Sega properties, The House of the Dead Remake is coming to Nintendo Switch soon! Read about it here!
