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.

I suspect that Sonic 4 will revolve around Chaos from Sonic Adventure 1. He is a fan favourite villain after all.
Edit: I just learned of the ending of the film. I won't spoil it but, Chaos for Sonic 5! Let's go.
I've got my tickets booked for tomorrow morning and can't wait. Sonic 2 is my favourite video game movie and this sounds even better and it's nice to know I'll have a 4th movie to look forward to
Thought this was already officially announced last month. Only thing new here seems to be the planned release date.
I'm more curious who the villain will be here (I have an idea of who but won't spoil it), since I can't imagine Carrey would wanna return for the fourth time. Its honestly a miracle he returned for the third, which I'm thankful for.
@Coolmusic It was likely unofficial at the time but strongly predicted to be true and now it is.
People rag on anything after Sonic 3, but technically, isn't that Sonic and Knuckles? Which was actually my favourite when I was 4 or so haha Since then, I also gave Knuckles Chaotix a shot and it's not bad at all, Sonic CD was also reasonably good. I'm now starting to try the romhacks with interpretations of cut levels from Sonic 2 which are pretty fun! And also there's one where you play as Metal Sonic which looks decent. Anyway, bit early for this announcement surely 🤔
Edit: Oh and if anyone hasn't tried the Sonic Triple Trouble remade for Genesis romhack... You are missing out! It was a shame they officially kept that one to Game Gear as it looks fantastic in 16 bit.
Sonic 3 with Sonic and Knuckles plugged in together was the best adventure ever
Just saw the movie. It was great. The Sonic movies have so much heart. Looking forward to the next one.
Guess I'll give 3 a watch. I did watch 2 but wasn't paying attention and have no clue what happened as I was looking at my phone the whole time it was on haha.
3 was incredible and 4 is gonna be insane ^__^
