Sonic the Hedgehog 3 film will tease a attainable fourth movie with a brand new character, director reveals – Destructoid

The third Sonic the Hedgehog film will not be the final. In a latest interview, director Jeff Fowler hinted that the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will embrace one other character tease, setting issues up for a possible fourth movie.

Fowler revealed the information whereas talking with Leisure Weekly. Whereas discussing what’s subsequent for the movie franchise, Fowler mentioned the third film can have a post-credit scene that includes a brand new character. Whereas he doesn’t outright verify a Sonic the Hedgehog 4, Sonic 3 will supply some form of trace as to the place the sequence can go.

“It’s enjoyable to see the fan debates on-line about who’s arising subsequent, who’s going to be teased on the finish of the movie,” Fowler advised Leisure Weekly. “We now have a variety of the identical conversations. We’ve all bought our favorites on the filmmaking facet, and we’re all making nice instances for ‘it ought to be this one or that one.’ It’s enjoyable to maintain that anticipation. This film is not any totally different by way of teasing new characters.”

There’s no slowing down for Sonic and pals

It’s just about custom now for the Sonic films to incorporate a sequel tease. The primary film provided a glimpse of Miles “Tails” Prower (Colleen O’Shaughnessey) proper on the finish, setting him up because the deuteragonist for the sequel. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 fortunately shocked viewers and followers with their first have a look at Shadow the Hedgehog (Keanu Reeves), who’ll act because the antagonist of the third film.

Naturally, that leaves us questioning: Who’s on the docket for Sonic 3? I, for one, consider the prophecy shall be fulfilled as Huge the Cat appropriately enters the massive display screen — possibly. It could possibly be Steel Sonic if the bot doesn’t seem within the third film, however having one other anti-Sonic might begin getting stale. We’d get Chaos (no, not these), which might transfer the main focus again to Knuckles and the Grasp Emerald. There’s an opportunity it’ll be Amy the Hedgehog, turning the trio right into a quartet. But it surely’s too early to say for certain.

We’ll know for certain as soon as Sonic the Hedgehog 3 zips into theaters on December 20, 2024.
