Ben Schwartz to voice Sonic | General News | NintendoReporters

 [![Ben Schwartz to voice Sonic](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/ben-schwartz-to-voice-sonic.jpg "Ben Schwartz to voice Sonic")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/ben-schwartz-to-voice-sonic.jpg)We now know who will be the voice of Sonic in the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog film. However, it isn’t Roger Craig Smith as many would have expected.

## [](#cast-confirms)Cast confirms

According to **Variety**, “Ben Schwartz has been tapped to voice the title character in Paramount Pictures’ Sonic the Hedgehog movie”. Schwartz will join a cast that includes James Marsden, Tika Sumpter and Jim Carrey. Thus also confirming the other people in the cast as we go!

It still strikes us a bit odd that we have not seen anything of a teaser or a first movie poster or such … or did we miss something when it comes to that? If so please by all means correct us!

The Sonic movie is set to premiere on November 15th, 2019.
