A brand new report claims that Paramount Footage is already engaged on a fourth Sonic the Hedgehog film, with a view to releasing the movie in theaters in a few years.
Based on Selection, the studio anticipates that Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (which is, in fact, not essentially its closing title, though it will line up with how Paramount has been titling its Sonic motion pictures thus far) will arrive in cinemas someday in spring 2027.
It is value noting that Sonic the Hedgehog 3, the most recent entry within the franchise’s foray into live-action motion pictures, has solely simply been launched itself. It opened right this moment, however as Selection factors out, it is anticipated to do fairly brisk enterprise, with the publication pointing to estimates of “$55 million to $60 million” for the film’s US opening weekend.
We’re shifting into spoiler territory for elements of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 proper now, so truthful warning: should you do not need to know something in regards to the film earlier than going to see it, then shut this text proper now and go do one thing else. I will not maintain it towards you!
Proper. Based on experiences, there are, in actual fact, two post-credits scenes within the third film. The primary options none aside from Sonic’s longtime companion and someday begrudging romantic curiosity Amy Rose, in addition to a cameo look from Steel Sonic.
The second teases what occurred to Shadow, performed by Johnny Silverhand himself, following the occasions of the film. This may very well be a setup for a sequel film, a tease for a derivative sequence akin to Knuckles, or only a good little bow to wrap up the occasions of the story.
In any case, if these mid- and post-credits experiences are appropriate, Amy and Steel Sonic look like shoo-ins for Sonic the Hedgehog 4.
With Paramount holding particulars of the fourth film’s story (in addition to its casting and inventive personnel) near its chest for now, we’ll have to attend and see whether or not that is the case or not.
In the intervening time, although, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is in theaters proper now. It is even received one of many sequence’ most iconic songs in it, though that music can also be at present the topic of a lawsuit being filed by Crush 40 vocalist Johnny Gioeli.
