After setting the record for the best opening of a videogame movie—an illustrious list—the hyperactive blue streak that is Sonic is returning for a second live-action caper to see if his luck continues.

Variety reports that the directing and writing team of Jeff Fowler, Pat Casey and Josh Miller will be returning, but it's apparently early days and there's no word on the cast or if Ben Schwartz will be reprising the role of the titular speedy critter.

I think they should bring back original Sonic, but not as the main design. Instead, make him Sonic's nemesis. He's been going around stealing teeth, and Sonic has to save the world from his sticky fingers. This movie writing racket is easy.

These days, when he's not editing, he can usually be found writing features that are 1,000 words too long or talking about his dog.
