Hot on the heels of the theatrical release of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Paramount Pictures has confirmed that a fourth instalment in the movie series is on the way.

As reported by Variety, the company tentatively slated Sonic the Hedgehog 4 for release in spring 2027.

The Sonic films have been big hits for SEGA and Paramount, so it's no real surprise to see the series continue following the arrival of the third entry.

Not only that, but Sonic 3 reportedly contains not one but two extra scenes within its credits, which basically spells out a follow-up as well.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has been warmly received by critics, broadly calling it the best one so far. That's in part thanks to Jim Carrey's double performances as mainstay villain Ivo Robotnik and his grandfather, Gerald Robotnik.

The film also introduces Shadow to the movie universe, a brooding anti-hero that rivals the speed and strength of Sonic and his buddies.

It opens at cinemas around the world starting today. Are you excited to watch the new film? Are you pleased to hear another Sonic movie is in the pipeline? Live and learn in the comments section below.
