Paramount has dropped a new trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog, the upcoming film based on the videogame franchise.
The clip, set to the Ramones’ “Blitzkrieg Bop,” showcases the speedy blue creature as he causes a massive power outage on Earth and goes on the run across the country to keep control of his special powers.
“This is my power,” Sonic notes in the trailer. “And I’m using it to protect my friends.” The character has notably smaller teeth and bigger eyes than in the last trailer, following a fan backlash.
The official synopsis notes, “Sonic the Hedgehog tells the story of the world’s speediest hedgehog as he embraces his new home on Earth. In this live-action adventure comedy, Sonic and his new best friend Tom team up to defend the planet from the evil genius Dr. Robotnik and his plans for world domination.”
