Sonic the Hedgehog is an upcoming, live-action movie based on the iconic and popular video game franchise and character of the same name. Ben Schwartz stars as the titular speedster and Jim Carrey plays Dr. Robotnik. Jeff Fowler directs and the cast also includes James Marsden and Tika Sumpter.
Recently, it was discovered that the video game movie will introduce a new character to Sonic the Hedgehog's canon. This character will reportedly be an owl by the name of Longclaw. While that name sounds pretty ominous, Sonic Paradise reports that the character will accompany Sonic in his younger years.
The reputable source that is Tails' Channel was able to follow up the initial report with seeming confirmation of the character's existence. The Sonic the Hedgehog franchise features many anthropomorphic animal characters. However, Longclaw and Sonic are the only two that will feature in the film — as far as we're aware at the moment.
Sonic the Hedgehog speeds into theatres on February 14th, 2020.
