What's the holdup, Paramount?!

Sonic the Hedgehog was quite a hit at the box office, becoming the highest-grossing game-to-movie adaptation in the states. It likely could have been even more successful, but it had its run cut short due to the pandemic. Still, you'd have to imagine that Paramount is quite happy with how things went.

That would mean a sequel is a given, right? According to a USA Today interview with Director Jeff Fowler, no official talks or plans for a sequel have happened. That said, Fowler would like nothing more than to have another crack at the franchise.

"There's so many more great characters to bring in and just more stories to tell. (But) nothing would bring me more happiness than getting another shot with these characters and to tell more stories. We'd love to do more with the Sonic cinematic universe."

Once the world gets back on track, it's likely a sequel will get going. Until then, we'll just have to keep fingers and toes crossed.
