Paramount secured the film rights to the 1991 Sega game last year.

Jeff Fowler will direct, and Deadpool director Tim Miller will serve as an executive producer.

The game features a hedgehog named Sonic on a mission to defeat Doctor Robotnik, a scientist who has imprisoned animals in robots and stolen magical Chaos Emeralds.

The film is set for a November 15, 2019, release date, marking the first time Sonic has ever been adapted for the big screen.
