Ahead of the hotly anticipated release of the forthcoming video game adaptation film Sonic the Hedgehog 2, of which the first trailer dropped Thursday night at the Game Awards, eagle-eyed fans of the franchise are spotting a few visual callbacks to a classic game.
The sequel to the 2019 surprise hit features many returning cast members, including Ben Schwartz’ Sonic, Jim Carrey’s Dr. Robotnik, and James Marsden as the blue blur’s human friend, Tom Wachowski. Director Jeff Fowler is also returning to helm the upcoming film.
