When the first trailer for the Sonic the Hedgehog live-action movie dropped, fans were not happy.

Nothing about the iconic hedgehog seemed to belong in the movie causing fans to be upset and turn to social media to protest the live-action remake, especially Sonic’s look and his weird human-like teeth.
After the intense criticism of the way the Sonic was designed, director Jeff Fowler decided to do something about it to change the way the speedy hedgehog looked.
He tweeted, “Thank you for the support. And the criticism. The message is loud and clear… you aren’t happy with the design & you want changes. It’s going to happen.”
And thankfully, the director has kept his word, if these leaked redesigns are to be believed.
Some art of Sonic’s new look surfaced online and it’s a lot closer to the original character than it was before.
The supposed redesign shows some significant changes to Sonic’s eyes, hands, chest, ears and even his shoes!
While this redesign has not been confirmed by the moviemakers, fans are already excited about the changes and are now looking forward to the movie.
We think that this possible new design looks great!
What do you think about it? Let us know!
