I have never been capable of cease occupied with Sonic the Hedgehog 3 since I noticed it within the cinema final month. The primary two films had been good, certain, however the third film’s treasure trove of Sonic Journey 2 references—and the introduction of Keanu Reeves as Shadow, my favorite character—has cemented it as my favorite of the trilogy.
Now, we already knew we had been getting a fourth film. The post-credits scene for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 launched Amy Rose to the cinematic universe for the primary time in addition to an look from Metallic Sonic, plus the pre-production was introduced simply earlier than the threequel’s theatrical launch. We did not know precisely when we might be getting that fourth film, although (fourquel? Quadquel?) Till now, that’s.
As reported by GamesIndustry.biz, Paramount Photos has slapped a March 19, 2027 launch date on Sonic the Hedgehog 4. Yeah, that is two years away, which looks like an age, however I am truthfully fairly dang impressed by the tempo during which the studio is churning these films out. Let’s not overlook the primary one solely got here out again in February 2020, after which there was all of the, y’know, pandemic stuff to take care of earlier than the second film hit cinemas in April 2022.
A two-year cycle on what have been, up to now, three very strong movies is not any imply feat. I do should marvel if we’ll be seeing a full forged return for the subsequent entry, although. Jim Carrey is ace as Robotnik, however I would not blame him for hanging up his goggles and bald cap after three goes on the function (and an additional character to play in the latest film).
I hope he does although, and I doubly hope Paramount can proceed its streak of a genuinely good, entertaining piece of Sonic media. And hey, I could also be getting forward of myself, but when there’s going to be a Sonic the Hedgehog 5, could I current Rogue the Bat as the subsequent character? My lady wants her screentime.
