When it comes to the first Sonic the Hedgehog film that dropped back in 2020, it quickly became apparent that fans were happy with the direction the franchise was going—essentially putting the popular video game character back on the map. Years later, we've received three films, a spin-off series, and a promise for more Sonic content very soon. Now, as the franchise pushes past a major milestone, one of the stars of the franchise is sharing his response to the success of Sonic the Hedgehog in its current cinematic form.
To celebrate the massive milestone of reaching over $1 billion at the box office, Sonic voice actor Ben Schwartz took to X, writing, "Over one billion dollars?! We truly have the best fans in the universe. None of this happens without you. So thank you thank you thank you." Reflecting on the polarizing response to the first iteration of Sonic the Hedgehog (which caused the film to undergo a complete visual overhaul), he adds, "Remember the first trailer? We have all come a long way. And we have so much more to go."
