Trailer #1 (April 30, 2019)
Movie logo is shown.

''We see a long stretch of road leading into the rural town of Green Hills, situated in Montana. A police car is parked just behind the welcome sign, its driver's door ajar. Suddenly a blue blur runs past the car at an incredible speed. Tom Wachowski records its speed with a speed gun. The results reads 760 mph.''


 * Tom: What the...?

He taps the speed gun, astonished at what just happened.

In another shot, Tom picks up and examines a blue quill which is sparking with static electricity.

Notably, rings from the Sonic series replace the stars in the Paramount logo.

SEGA logo is shown.

''Sonic is seen running through a forest. The shot is taken in Sonic's perspective, and everything appears to be a blur as he runs. Next we see him spin down onto a beanbag in what we can assume is his burrow. He walks past a sizable pile of worn-out shoes.''

''Next Sonic inserts a cassette into a stereo and presses the play button. Coolio's  Gangsta's Paradise  begins playing. This is the song that plays throughout the rest of the trailer.''

''As the song begins, Sonic is seen standing on the aforementioned road. He stretches before preparing to run. He looks up, so we can get a good look at his eyes.''


 * Sonic: Gotta go fast.

''Electricity courses through the hedgehog as he charges up. He starts running, and we see through his eyes once again as he runs. Then Sonic breaks the sound barrier, creating a sonic boom. The shot transitions into much of the United States losing power.''

''Cut to the Pentagon. Several personnel are gathered around a table for a meeting, headed by Commander Walters.''


 * Walters: Twenty minutes ago, an energy surge knocked out power across the entire Pacific Northwest.

''Fade to a military base. A transporter drives onto the grounds.''


 * Walters: This needs someone who can figure out exactly what we're dealing with.

Cut back to the Pentagon.


 * General: You're not suggesting who I think you're suggesting.

Cut back to the military base, where the transporter's ramp changes into a set of stairs.


 * Walters: We have no choice.

''Standing in the doorway of the transporter is none other than Doctor Robotnik. Notably, he has a smaller mustache and black hair in comparison to his appearances in the games.''

Major Bennington looks impassively at the doctor.


 * Bennington: What the...?
 * Robotnik: Are you in charge here?
 * Bennington: Yes I am--
 * Robotnik: Nope!
 * Bennington: My--
 * Robotnik: Wrong.
 * Bennington: I--
 * Robotnik: I'm in charge. Allow me to clarify.

He raises his finger and turns his head toward it in an almost mechanical manner.


 * Robotnik: In a sequentially-ranked hierarchy based on level of critical importance, the disparity between us is too vast to quantify.  Agent Stone?

''As Robotnik is speaking, Bennington looks around, thoroughly confused and fed up with the doctor. Once Robotnik is finished, he steps out to let Agent Stone explain to Bennington what he has just said.''


 * Agent Stone: The doctor thinks you're basic.
 * Bennington: Listen, pal, I don't know if you realize who--
 * Robotnik: I'm sorry, Major, what was your name?
 * Bennington: Benni--
 * Robotnik: Nobody cares!

THIS NOVEMBER

Cut to a shack, where Tom enters carrying a tranquilizer gun and a flashlight.


 * Tom: SFPD!

His flashlight beam lands on Sonic the Hedgehog, who is caught off guard.


 * Sonic: Uhh... Meow?

''Tom screams, which prompts Sonic to scream as well. However, Tom reacts quickly enough to fire a tranquilizer dart into Sonic's left leg.''


 * Sonic: Ah, come on--

He falls to the ground.

Cut to a road, where Tom and Sonic are driving a Toyota Tacoma.


 * Tom: Okay, pal, I want answers.
 * Sonic: Basically, it looks like I'm gonna have to save your planet.

''It is revealed that one of Robotnik's robots is driving after them. It launches a harpoon which pierces through the length of the car and embeds itself in the front windshield between the driver's and passenger's seats. In a flash, Sonic is out of the car. He spin-dashes into the robot, flipping it onto its right side.''


 * Sonic: Haha, is that all you got?

He races back to the car.

Cut to Robotnik, who has just seen this happen.


 * Robotnik: No, but thank you for asking.

''He presses a button. Cut back to Sonic and Tom. The robot Sonic damaged deploys a smaller robot with utensil arms. The robot speeds toward the vehicle, and Sonic watches from the back seat of the car.''


 * Sonic: Uh-oh.

Cut to Robotnik looking at a blue quill embedded in a wall.


 * Robotnik: Whatever this creature is...

Cut to Robotnik and Agent Stone in a house.


 * Robotnik: ...our job is to secure it...

''Cut to Robotnik looking at a screen. Cut to Robotnik working on putting together robot parts.''


 * Robotnik: ...neutralize it...

''Cut back to Robotnik and Agent Stone in the house. Robotnik puts on a pair of shades.''


 * Robotnik: ...see what makes it tick.

''Cut to Robotnik and Agent Stone examining a blue quill. The quill shocks Robotnik's face with static electricity, causing him to flinch.''

FROM THE PRODUCER OF THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS

''Cut to Sonic running down a building after a falling Tom and Annie Wachowski. Sonic throws a ring ahead of them, which acts as a portal, and the duo fall through it and fly toward a barn on the other side.''

EVERY HERO

Robotnik's personal flying craft blasts at Sonic as he runs through a desert.

HAS A GENESIS

''Cut to Tom, Annie, and Sonic standing on top of a roof. They are surrounded by aerial robots, and Robotnik looks on from his craft. Notable, he is wearing a red suit in this shot as opposed to black in previous shots. He presses a button, and all the robots launch missiles at them at once. Time seems to stop completely for Sonic, who taps his foot impatiently.''


 * Sonic: Woo, look at this! I took nine million steps today.

''Sonic grabs two missiles and slams them into some of the other missiles nearest to him. He then leaps from robot to robot, slamming other missiles into the robots to blow them up - all of this in slow-motion.''


 * Sonic: Woohoo!

Movie logo is shown.

''Cut to Tom and Annie walking toward the elevators. Sonic is stowed inside a duffel bag that Tom is carrying.''


 * Tom: Stay in there and be quiet.
 * Sonic: How much longer? I can't breathe in here.

To make things more awkward, a man and a woman appear on either side of them.


 * Woman: Do you have your child in that bag?
 * Tom: No. ...I mean, yes, it's a child, but it's not mine.
 * Man: It's not your child.

The man and woman awkwardly step away.


 * Sonic: Smells like body spray and an old ham sandwich.

NOVEMBER

''The final screen pixelates, showing various shots, until it changes to Robotnik. He is in an area akin to Mushroom Hill Zone from the games. He now sports his iconic mustache, and he lowers the goggles atop his head. In his hand is a test tube containing one of Sonic's quills.''
