Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (The Movie, That Is) Has Officially Started Production 2022's is shaping up as a big year for Sonic. Alongside a 3D animated Netflix series, Sonic Prime, we're also looking forward to the live-action Sonic The Hedgehog film sequel. Aiming for an April 8th 2022 release, Sega released a brief "Title Announcement" trailer last month and slowly, we've been getting more information. Taking to Twitter, Jeff Fowler, director of both films, confirmed that production has now officially begun, as of yesterday. It lines up with previous rumours about a March start, after documents filed through the British Columbia Film Commission back in November suggested as much.
