Sonic The Hedgehog Movie Release Date Moved Up

With the recent success ofSonic Mania, Sega and Sonic fans have much to look forward to in the gaming spectrum, but what about the upcomingSonic The Hedgehogmovie? Anticipating fans will be excited to know that their wait is now shorter than expected.

In 2014, Sony first announced plans to introduce Sega’s belovedSonicto the movie screen. Having acquired the rights in 2013, Sony later abandoned the project, leaving Paramount Pictures the ability to purchase the rights. TheSonic The Hedgehogmovie, originally set to release this year by Sony, was later postponed to 2019 due to the production shift.

The June 04, 2025 release date announced by Paramount has now, too, undergone a change. After a calendar shift involving multiple future films, includingTerminator 6,Sonic The Hedgehogis now scheduled to release on July 23, 2025.Deadpooldirector,Tim Miller, happens to be both directingTerminator 6and producingSonic The Hedgehog.

Sonic the Hedgehoghas made some interesting moves in the casting scene. The live-action movie with implemented CGI elements has famously castJim Carrey, as well asBen SchwartzandJames Marsden. The casting for the character of Tom Wachowski (police officer) came as a surprise to many who thought Paul Rudd would receive the role. Instead, the part has been given to James Marsden, who is most known for his roles inX-Men,Enchanted, andWestworld. Ben Schwartz, best known as Jean-Ralphio inParks and Recreation, will be the voice for Sonic. Though the most reported casting was that of Jim Carrey as ‘Eggman’.

Here is a list of the announced cast and their known characters:

All in all, the cast and crew should deliver an enjoyable, light-hearted film. Having Tim Miller at the helm of production gives the film the potential to provide quality content, with the cast to back it up. Hopes are that the combination of Jim Carrey And Tim Miller will make for good humor and a good plot. Though the merger of live-action and CGI Sonic will be a hard one to digest.

Sonic The Hedgehogis set to hit the screens on June 14, 2025.
