The producer of the Sonic franchise teases high stakes events for the cinematic universe. The most recent wave of Sonic movies began with Sonic the Hedgehog in 2020. This was followed up by Sonic the Hedgehog 2 in 2022. Both movies combine live-action with CGI animation as a Ben Schwartz-voice blue hedgehog Sonic interacts with a world populated by humans. Other members of the Sonic cast include Jim Carrey, James Marsden, Tika Sumpter, and Idris Elba.
