Will Sonic The Hedgehog 3 End The Franchise? Here’s The Latest

As a lifelong Sonic fan who grew up with the blue blur zipping across my Game Genie-enhanced Sega Genesis, I couldn’t be more thrilled about the upcoming third installment of the Sonic the Hedgehog movie franchise. After witnessing the triumphant comeback of our favorite hedgehog on the big screen with the first two films and the delightful Knuckles TV show, it feels like a dream come true to see how they’re adapting one of my all-time favorite video games, Sonic Adventure 2.


Previously, films adapted from video games have faced challenges at the box office, but there’ve been some exceptions in recent times. For instance, “Sonic the Hedgehog” is often hailed as one of the best movie adaptations of a video game. Currently, it’s a full-fledged franchise (available on Paramount+), and the third installment is already on its way. However, some are wondering if “Sonic 3” will mark the end of this series. Here’s an update from one of the producers.

Information regarding Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is scarce for now, but as its December release date approaches, more details should surface. Fans are excited to meet Shadow The Hedgehog, yet there’s curiosity over how long this franchise will continue running. During a Sonic Central presentation (as reported by ComicBook), producer Toby Ascher addressed this topic, mentioning:

There’s such a rich universe of stories. I don’t see us slowing down at all

It appears that the Sonic trilogy isn’t wrapping up with the upcoming third movie. Instead, it seems Paramount is eager to continue exploring the universe from the video game series. For the new Sonic film, they plan to draw inspiration from the popular game “Sonic Adventure 2”. There are still many beloved characters waiting to make their big-screen debut.

Through strategic integration of video game characters, Paramount has undeniably set the Sonic franchise up for continued success in the foreseeable future. In the latest trailer for “Sonic the Hedgehog 3,” Shadow is seen in action, with Keanu Reeves providing his voice. You can catch a glimpse of this below:

As a dedicated follower, I can’t help but feel an electrifying excitement about Shadow, the legendary antagonist making his debut in the world of Jim Carrey’s Robotnik. It’ll be intriguing to witness how his enigmatic past unfolds on the big screen and whether they choose to incorporate a poignant yet potentially heart-wrenching scene where a child character may meet an untimely end.

Beyond the three Sonic films, the franchise expanded further with a Knuckles TV series. This suggests that Paramount is deeply committed to the ongoing growth of the franchise. Therefore, the dedicated fanbase is probably keeping their hopes high that more iconic characters will join the action alongside James Marsden and co.

There are several beloved characters from the Sonic series that fans hope to see make an appearance in upcoming films or streaming shows. Among these potential additions, Metal Sonic stands out as a formidable villain, while Amy the hedgehog, Cream the rabbit, and Rogue the Bat could bring some heroic flair. I’m especially eager to witness Rogue’s tale on the big screen since she often disguises herself as a villain while working undercover as a spy.

The movie ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 3’ is set to premiere in cinemas on December 20th. Meanwhile, mark your calendars for its future releases slated for 2025.
