'Sonic the Hedgehog 2' gets a new game-inspired poster for Dolby Cinema featuring Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles.
The 2022 movie season is in full swing now, and one of the most highly anticipated films coming out next month is Sonic the Hedgehog 2. The Paramount sequel based on the classic Sega game franchise of the same name has had a great marketing campaign so far. Now another new poster has dropped for the film courtesy of Dolby Cinema. It is another piece of art that will make Sonic fans happy.
The poster sees Sonic and Tails flying in front of Dolby Cinema's logo decked out in hedgehog blue. They appear to be racing through a city, and Knuckles is right behind our favorite heroes, ready for a fight. Also, Sonic and Tails are using a classic move from the game franchise where Sonic uses Tails to hover in the air. Their exact position on the poster is almost a one-to-one re-creation of how that move is typically animated in the games.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY This is definitely not the first time this film franchise has honored the games like that. For example, one of the most recent posters re-created the iconic cover art for the game Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Also, since this film seems to be borrowing many elements of the game Sonic & Knuckles, there have been many references and callbacks to that third game. Like in the game, Jim Carrey's Dr. Robotnik recruits Knuckles to take down Sonic.
The Sonic cinematic universe is only getting bigger with a third film and a Knuckles spin-off series starring Idris Elba already in the works. Carrey himself is also writing a Robotnik-centric comic book. This new high-flying poster, which you can view below, is just a small tease of the big things quickly coming for our favorite blue blur.
