Sonic Le Film has, despite the controversies surrounding its creation, been rather well received by critics and has met with definite success in theaters. Despite everything, a sequel is for the moment not serious in the rock according to its director.

Sonic The Movie has, according to the Box Office Mojo site, gnr $ 306,766,470 million at the world box office (while the COVID-19 pandemic prevented it from going out in certain countries), for a budget of 85 million. Faced with such success, which does not take into account sales on VOD and (obviously) future sales on DVD or Blu-Ray, the start of construction of a suite could appear guaranteed (sensation accentuated by the post-generic scene of the film ).
And yet, nothing is active to believe Jeff Fowler, the director of Sonic Le Film. During an interview recently granted to the site of the American daily newspaper USA Today, the filmmaker said that negotiations are not underway on this subject at the moment. The desire is there, however, for him as well as that of the team:
There are so many other great characters to import and so many other stories to tell and nothing would make me happier than having another opportunity to tell more stories with these characters. We would love to do more with the Cinematic Sonic Universe.
According to an analyst at Exhibitor Relations, it is almost a fact that Paramount will give the go-ahead for a second Sonic film as soon as the world situation returns to normal. Since Jeff Fowler is already talking about a Sonic cinematic universe, the director seems rather confident too.
As a reminder, Sonic Le Film is now available on video on demand in France.
