The Sonic the Hedgehog film controversy added a new page to its story overnight, as it looks like two news images that claim to be the blue hedgehog's new design for the movie have surfaced online. If proven to be true, it looks like fans of the franchise will be able to sleep much more easily ahead of its date with the cinema on Valentines Day.
As you can see, these pictures capture the cartoony look of Sonic a lot better than the original trailer did. Even the white gloves are back! It's not an exact replica of the classic SEGA character, but it's a whole lot better than what was originally pitched. Apparently, the two images were leaked by a person whose friend works at Paramount Studios. It sounds a little bit too much like another "my uncle works at Sony" situation, but at least we have some visual proof to work with.
Still, if you do miss the original design, you could always get a mask to commemorate the infamous look. What do you think of this design? Do you hope it's the final version? Speed into the comments below.

am i the only person who didn't really have an issue with the old design?
yeah it wasn't the original but it just didn't bother me (on a side note neither did the Boom designs)
This design looks really good.
The old was just to weird looking.
That face urg. It was almost scary in a way,so very good that they changed it into this.
@FullbringIchigo Yeah, just you! haha
This screams fake to me.
@FullbringIchigo no, you aren't.
@KALofKRYPTON
@FullbringIchigo It looked horrible so i just cant agree with you.
@FullbringIchigo The teeth, jeez the teeth. Nightmare fuel.
@nessisonett @Flaming_Kaiser hey don't get me wrong, i'm not saying it was good one i'm just saying it didn't bother me
The twitter user who posted this cautioned its authenticity.
This may not be this final, nor official, version.
With Jim Carrey in I'm out altogether.
I have doubts about this being real, but like other fan re-designs it looks better than the official design.
He still has blue arms, that kinda bugs me.
People still realize that this movie's going to suck no matter what Sonic looks like right?
@FullbringIchigo Thats your right even if you would like it. 😁 👍
Sometimes Sonic looks okay buy those teeth. And his build the legs. 🤢🤮
Robotnic /eggman looks great though.
Well now I can't make fun of it anymore since it's just gonna be another terribly written videogame movie. At least before I had that fugly looking reject Sonic to make fun of, but this I can't even make any jokes anymore.
@Quintumply That's what everyone was saying about the original design leaks.
This movie isn't gonna be good. There is, absolutely, no reason, to make it "live action" with CGI.
I hate whoever in Hollywood killed old fashioned 2D animation. It's no small part of why I have grown to prefer anime over western media.
@Heavyarms55 Yeah am kind of worried about the sequal to Space Jam which I enjoyed the original film when I first say it. As long as Warner Bros. keeps the Looney Tones characters in classic style of 2D animation I might see it but they make the Looney Tones characters in the sequal full CGI animation that would literally would kill my interest in seeing the film.
