The next chapter in the Sonic the Hedgehog saga is speeding towards theaters! Paramount Pictures has officially slated Sonic the Hedgehog 4 for a March 19, 2027 release, according to Variety. While plot details remain under wraps for now, the announcement comes on the heels of Sonic the Hedgehog 3's impressive box office performance.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 raked in a remarkable $218 million domestically and over $420 million globally, solidifying its place as the highest-grossing film in the franchise. This success, especially considering the initial design controversy surrounding the first film, makes a sequel a logical next step. The film also holds the distinction of being the second highest-grossing video game movie in North America, trailing only the Super Mario Bros. Movie, continuing the iconic rivalry between Nintendo and Sega on the big screen.
The live-action Sonic universe continues to expand, boasting three feature films and a Knuckles-centric spin-off series. The films follow Sonic (Ben Schwartz) as he battles his arch-nemesis, Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey), with each installment introducing more beloved characters from the games, including Tails (Colleen O'Shaughnessey), Knuckles (Idris Elba), and, most recently, Shadow the Hedgehog (Keanu Reeves).
While Sonic 3 hinted at another character joining the franchise, we'll leave that reveal for you to discover. Check out our character guide (proceed with caution!) and our Sonic 3 review for more details.
