About a month ago, a couple of images surfaced online, shedding some light on how Sonic the Hedgehog's movie redesign is possibly shaping up. They were never confirmed to be real, but were much closer to the blue blur we all know and love. The strangely human proportions and hideous teeth appeared to be gone, and this design, real or fake, was much more in line with the expectations of fans.
Now, a new image has emerged, giving us a much clearer look at the supposed redesign:
Sonic's looking much better these days.
We've yet to have any official confirmation on Sonic's new look in the upcoming film, but according to Sonic news site TSSZ, the above image is the real deal. It supposedly comes from a document sent to movie theatres, and represents a standee that would be put on display in said picture houses. Another tweet shows dimensions and a timing schedule for the standee. If this really is legitimate, Paramount may officially unveil the new Sonic on or near the 12th November.
We're still hesitant to call this real, but it's definitely looking more likely. If we're to believe these new images, we could see the hedgehog's new appearance next week. What do you think of all this? Do you like this new version of Sonic for the movie? Race down to the comments below.

If true that looks pretty darn good! Why they never used it in the first place I'll never know!
I'm not a fan of movie adaptions at all but this looks fantastic.
Must be the most accurate character model based of a video game in a long time.
it's looking nice
although if i'm honest i never really had much issue with the old one
Now there's no reason this movie won't be scooping up Oscar nominations
Not sure about the movie itself, but Sonic looks SO much better.
Again, kudos to the filmmakers for delaying it to ensure Sonic doesn't look like a hideous CG abomination.
Oh wow he looks slightly less hideous now
I was just as freaked out by his human teeth.
Yeah, he looks fantastic. As much as I didn't mind the previous design and would've reserved judgement until seeing the film, I look at the above image and immediately see my childhood hero.
All of this hand wringing and CGI changing, yet the movie will still flop in February and will simply fade into DVD. It will become a 2020 end of the year "Remember This?" stand out.
Looks much better, if confirmed true. Movie will probably still suck, but a step in the right direction.
If you ask me, he looks more like Chucky from Child's Play now.
the look of sonic will not fix all the problems with this movie. so, who cares?
