Sonic the Hedgehogstar Natasha Rothwell opens up about her hopes for another return to the franchise.

Speaking to ScreenRant, Rothwell was asked if she was looking forward to reprising her role as Rachel in the next Sonic the Hedgehog film, as well as what impression her experience on the past three entries in the series had left on her. "I hope so. I mean, Jeff Fowler, he's just so lovely. And Toby Asher and the gang, Tika, James, like I've been in all of them and so absolutely I'll come back," Rothwell responded. "What's so crazy about the third one, I flew to London to shoot my scenes for the third one and then went to Thailand. So I literally stopped and shot it and then kept going.

Sonic 3 sees its spikey blue hero (voiced by Ben Schwartz) celebrating his birthday with his furry superhero pals Tails (Colleen O’Shaughnessey) and Knuckles (Idris Elba) and his adoptive human parents, Tom (James Marsden) and Maddie (Tika Sumpter). Their party is cut short when they’re called by the government agency G.U.N. to stop Shadow (Keanu Reeves), a powerful space hedgehog on a mission for revenge.

The day before Sonic the Hedgehog 3 opened in theaters, Paramount Pictures announced that Sonic the Hedgehog 4 would debut in 2027. At the time, no specific release date was given, but following the third entry's impressive box office run and now being available on digital, the studio is planting a flag for a release date. Despite Sonic the Hedgehog 3 having done very well over the Christmas and New Year holidays, Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is racing into the spring season.

Deadline reports that Paramount Pictures has set Sonic the Hedgehog 4 for a Mar. 19, 2027 release date. This puts it one week before Easter weekend, which was a similar release schedule that Sonic the Hedgehog 2 did, by opening one week before Easter in 2022. While 2027 feels like a long wait for fans, it is shorter than the two-and-a-half-year gap between Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

I should probably stop being surprised that the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise has become so successful, especially after the third film has pushed the series over the billion-dollar mark. Paramount is keen to keep the little blue speedster and his pals around a little longer, as they’ve officially slated Sonic the Hedgehog 4 for a March 19, 2027 release.

The post-credit scene of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 did give fans a hint as to where the franchise will go next, but the fourth installment is still in the early stages with no director or star attachments at the moment. Jeff Fowler helmed the first three movies, so it stands to reason that he’ll be back for Sonic 4, but you never know.

Jim Carrey, who plays Dr. Ivo Robotnik in the franchise, has even expressed a willingness to return for Sonic the Hedgehog 4 if they have a good reason to do it.

The fourth movie in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise is set to speed into theaters on March 19, 2027.

Paramount Pictures, which announced the news Tuesday, had long been eyeing a spring 2027 release for Sonic the Hedgehog 4, the latest installment in the film series that is based on the popular Sega video game.

The news comes just days after Sonic the Hedgehog 3 became the top-grossing title in the franchise, with more than $422 million in ticket sales at the global box office. That’s a great feat for the threequel, which added Keanu Reeves in the role of Shadow.

Not only that, Paramount revealed Tuesday that Sonic 3 has generated more than $180 million in global consumer spending from home entertainment rentals and purchases. Studios generally refrain from divulging home entertainment numbers.

In a separate milestone, the Sonic franchise has surpassed $1 billion in box office to date.

There’s no word yet...

By hook or by crook, even with new owners Skydance bound to take over Paramount this year, there will be a fourth Sonic the Hedgehog with the studio dating it for March 19, 2027.

That’s a week before the Easter holiday for those keeping track. The news comes in the wake of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 becoming the highest installment in the franchise with $218.8M domestic, $425M worldwide. The entire Sega branded feature franchise counts $1.1 billion at the global box office.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 opened to No. 1 domestically, for two consecutive weeks, and debuted at No. 1 in over 30 markets including the U.K., Mexico, Italy, and Australia. The threequel has driven over $180M in global consumer spending from home entertainment rentals and purchases.

The project is in development at this point time. There are no director or star attachments at this time.

The 2024 release also surpassed its predecessor, Sonic 2, as the highest-grossing installment in the franchise. The second installment, also directed by Jeff Fowler, was released in 2022. en Schwartz, James Marsden, Tika Sumpter, Colleen O’Shaughnessey, and Jim Carrey reprised their roles, and it was a box-office success.

According to Luiz Fernando’s report, it crossed the $200 million mark overseas after grossing a solid $15.2 million this week.

After a month in theaters, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is racing into premium video-on-demand for families to watch at home. The third entry in the popular Sonic the Hedgehog franchise features the titular blue hedgehog, voiced by Ben Schwartz, going up against fan-favorite Shadow the Hedgehog, voiced by Keanu Reeves, and Jim Carrey, pulling double duty as both Ivan and Gerald Robotnik. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 was one of the big films of the holiday season, and after a solid performance at the box office, it will soon be available to watch at home.

No date has been announced for Sonic the Hedgehog 3...

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has been widely hailed as the best instalment in the trilogy, though some newly revealed concept art hints at a movie that's arguably even grander in scale than the one fans watched in theaters last month.

There are lots of sequences showcased here that either weren't in the final cut or changed significantly. Why? It likely comes down to practical reasons like the movie's budget; however, by far the biggest talking point is what appears to be a glimpse at an alternate timeline with Eggman ruling over Earth alongside Metal Sonic.

In Sonic the Hedgehog 3's post-credits scene, we were introduced to Amy Rose and chances are we'll get to visit a version of that twisted future in the already-confirmed fourth instalment. We're also not exactly shocked that Dr. Robotnik will likely live to fight another day after his apparent demise.

What's shown here may...

One of 2024's most popular movies is still playing in theaters, but now audiences can look forward to watching Sonic the Hedgehog 3 at home with the news that the film will be arriving on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD on April 15, 2025. The film stars Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic, Jim Carrey as the utterly demented Dr. Ivo Robotnik, and his long-lost grandfather, Gerald Robotnik, in a dual role. It also features Idris Elba as Knuckles (who made his debut in Sonic the Hedgehog 2), and Keanu Reeves, who joined the franchise as Shadow the Hedgehog for this most recent installment. Also joining the fun are Colleen O'Shaugnessy as the voice of Tails, James Marsden, Tika Sumpter, Shemar Moore and Krysten Ritter.

A deleted scene from Sonic the Hedgehog 3 reveals that Ivo Robotnik is a live-streamer.

The cast of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 includes Ben Schwartz, Jim Carrey, Keanu Reeves, Idris Elba, James Marsden, and Tika Sumpter. Carrey's cartoonish Ivo Robotnik has always been a standout villain in the Sonic movies, but he perhaps gets his best storyline yet in Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is Certified Fresh and Verified Hot on Rotten Tomatoes with a franchise-best 96% audience rating and an A CinemaScore. The latest film based on the Sega video game has earned over $420 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing of the three Sonic films and propelling the franchise’s global box office past $1 billion.

Directed by Jeff Fowler, who has directed all three films in the series, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 stars Jim Carrey,...

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is crossing box office milestones with a speed that would put Ben Schwartz's titular hedgehog to shame, and for good reason. It features the live-action debut of Shadow the Hedgehog, with Keanu Reeves lending his voice to the tormented "Ultimate Lifeform." It has Jim Carrey playing not one, but two Robotniks. But most importantly, it keeps the focus on Sonic and his family - with said family consisting of Tails (Colleen O'Shaughnessy), Knuckles (Idris Elba), and semi-adoptive parents Tom and Maddie Wachowski (James Marsden and Tika Sumpter). It's a far cry from Sonic the Hedgehog 2, which overloaded on human characters that added little to the plot.

Idris Elba’s best movies and TV shows highlight the amazing career of this charismatic and commanding actor who has appeared in iconic projects on the big and small screen. Born in London, England, Elba started his acting career in the mid-1990s but it was not until landing his role as Stringer Bell in the acclaimed crime series The Wire that his career took off, leading to a number of Hollywood projects as well as his leading role in the BBC thriller Luther.

Elba has shown his talents for playing the likable hero, the intimidating villain, and has even shown off his comedic skills at times. He has worked for directors like Ridley Scott and Guillermo Del Toro and has shared the screen with stars like Denzel Washington and Kate Winslet. However, the best movies and television shows that truly showcase his talents suggest that Elba still has a long and exciting career ahead.

Today, Jan. 5, 2025, marks a historical moment for not just the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise but for video game movies writ large. Thanks to the success of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, the whole film franchise based on the Sega video game has now surpassed $1 billion in total box office receipts worldwide, making it the fourth-highest-grossing video game movie franchise. Its profit per film, though, makes it more successful than two of the top three film franchises based on video games — the Resident Evil franchise and the Pokémon franchise.

Only the movies based on the Super Mario Bros. video games have grossed the most, thanks to the staggering success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Released in February 2020 and April 2022, respectively, Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 earned a combined $725.2 million globally and generated $181 million in consumer spending from home entertainment rentals and purchases.

I love this gang that makes these movies and I love the fans,” Carrey said.

The following contains light spoilers for Sonic the Hedgehog 3, in theaters now.

The Sonic the Hedgehog franchise has reached new heights with Sonic the Hedgehog 3. The third movie finally introduces the fan-favorite character of Shadow the Hedgehog, and in general raises the stakes for Team Sonic. However, that movie wouldn't have been possible without key events in Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

In Part 3 of their interview with Cbr, writers Josh Miller and Patrick Casey talked about how Sonic the Hedgehog 2 set up the characters of Tails and Knuckles. The duo also revealed which level from the Sonic video games they've so far been unsuccessful at getting into the movies. Find out why it's one of their favorites.

Cbr: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 introduced Tails and Knuckles to the movie franchise. What were some of the considerations or the challenges in bringing those two characters into the fold?...

Dual performances always catch the eye, and they have often been used to showcase multiple sides to an actor's talents. Jim Carrey has been getting a lot of attention for playing two characters in Sonic the Hedgehog 3, and some of the most exciting movies of 2025 also feature actors working overtime. Robert Pattinson, Robert De Niro and Michael B. Jordan all have dual roles lined up for 2025.

Actors mostly play multiple characters in comedy movies, just like Carrey in Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Other common reasons for having a dual performance in a movie include stories with twins, or sci-fi movies with clones or humanoid robots. A dual performance is always an interesting novelty that a studio can use to promote a movie, but the best actors can turn these types of roles into more than just a gimmick.
