Why It Was Cancelled

 * 1) A big fight occurred with Neal H. Moritz and Tom Rothman over Passengers. The latter wanted to slash the budget and telling the former that Passengers didn't sell well, Neal threatened the latter on selling Passengers to another studio. After Passengers became a box office flop, another big fight between Moritz and Rothman occurred, causing the former to quit Sony Pictures in favor of Paramount, taking the film rights to Sonic with him.
 * 2) During the first teasers, Sonic's original movie design received massive backlashes from critics, audiences, as well as the Sonic fanbase and even his own creator, especially on social media, due to his extreme unsettling and unappealing look with his realistic eyes and human-like teeth, resulted to redesign Sonic into cuter and bit faithful look before the Paramount version was released in 2020.

Result

 * Sony gave the film to Paramount Pictures, they re-created it, and it was originally scheduled to be released on November 10, 2019, but was delayed by February 14, 2020 due to the backlash of Sonic's original design, and the film received a positive reception thanks to the redesign of Sonic.
 * A sequel called Sonic the Hedgehog 2 will be released on April 8th, 2022. Watch the real trailer here if you haven't already.
