UPDATE: Due to the overwhelming negative reaction from fans regarding Sonic’s design, director Jeff Fowler took to Twitter to reassure that the studio will make the necessary corrections to make Sonic perfect for his live-action debut.
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. Everyone at Paramount & Sega are fully committed to making this character the BEST he can be… #sonicmovie #gottafixfast 🔧✌️

However, the redesign process is taking longer than expected, which will push the initial release date back three months to Valentine’s Day 2020.
