Sorry, Paul Rudd fans -- aka everyone.
We're happy to see Rudd in anything and everything, no matter how strange, but apparently he won't be part of the upcoming "Sonic the Hedgehog" movie.
That Hashtag Show had initially reported that Rudd was being considered for the lead human role of Tom, a cop who reportedly teams up with Sonic to take down Robotnik.
The video game adaptation will be a mix of live-action and CGI, and it's expected to start filming in Vancouver this summer to meet its November 15, 2019 release date. Jeff Fowler is set to direct, with "Deadpool" director Tim Miller as executive producer.
However, Sonic will have to find another Tom first. After the initial report, Paramount reached out to THS to say Rudd was no longer being considered for the role of Tom.
There are no further details at this point on what happened and who might be cast. But -- if you are interested -- THS said they'd have more coming up.
Sonic has been featured in multiple TV series, including "The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog," "Sonic the Hedgehog" (aka "Sonic SatAM"), and "Sonic Boom."
Meanwhile, Paul Rudd is busy with "Ant-Man and the Wasp," which opens in theaters July 6.
