Paramount is planning on making a sequel for 'Sonic the Hedgehog'. The studio and Sega Sammy are in early development for the next part of the video game adaptation.
Jeff Fowler will be back to direct the film, with Pat Casey and Josh Miller also returning to write the script. The first Sonic opened in February, with Ben Schwartz voice-starring as the Sega character and James Marsden, Jim Carrey and Tika Sumpter starring in live-action roles.
Sonic the Hedgehog, now the highest-grossing video game movie of all time domestically, was something of an underdog success story. After its first trailer drew criticism, the pic was delayed and the title character was redesigned. The film was also a big commercial and critical hit, grossing $306.7 million globally, a figure that could go higher as it has not yet opened in China, Japan and other territories.
Sonic has been a hit on digital as well, with Paramount touting it as selling nearly 2 million units after being released early amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Neal H. Moritz, Toby Ascher and Toru Nakahara are producing the follow-up, with Hajime Satomi, Haruki Satomi and Tim Miller executive producing.
