Sonic the Hedgehog 3 seemingly leaked before the movie even gets a trailer

As a seasoned gamer and long-time fan of Sonic the Hedgehog, I can’t help but feel a mix of emotions upon hearing about the alleged leak of Sonic 3. On one hand, my curiosity is piqued and I can’t deny that the thought of getting a sneak peek at the upcoming movie is enticing. However, as someone who has witnessed the power of fan communities in both their creative potential and their ability to spread information like wildfire, I am all too aware of the consequences such leaks can have.

In 2024, the iconic speedster, known as the blue whirlwind, is gearing up for another big screen appearance. The highly anticipated Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is expected to storm the box office once more. Director Jeff Fowler is returning for his third Sonic movie adventure, and with renowned actor Keanu Reeves joining the cast as Shadow the Hedgehog, there’s a lot of excitement building up for this sequel.

In 2020, Ben Schwartz voiced the main character (Sonic the Hedgehog), and the first movie broke records. It seemed like the “video game movie curse” had been defeated. The second Sonic the Hedgehog film in 2022 outperformed its box office, but will the third one bring good luck?

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has apparently leaked online

It appears that someone has illegally obtained and downloaded various materials from multiple companies, including Paramount. This unauthorized access potentially allows us a sneak peek at the incomplete CGI for Sonic Movie 3. However, it’s concerning that such sensitive information could be accessed by an unauthorized party.

Based on recent updates from what used to be Twitter, an early version of Sonic 3 is being shared widely. If you recall, a similar situation happened with the 2009 release of X-Men Origins: Wolverine – its unfinished CGI effects leaked online before it was fully completed. Even though it wasn’t the final product, the version that leaked closely resembled what was shown in cinemas.

The baffling part is that we haven’t even had a Sonic 3 trailer yet. Even though we know one was shown to fans at CinemaCon, it’s been months and we haven’t seen one yet. Considering Sonic 3 is out on December 20 as a Christmas treat, we’d expected to see it by now.

As a die-hard gamer, picture a thrilling scenario where we’re handed the whole Sonic 3 game ahead of any trailers. Although these leaks haven’t been officially confirmed yet, it’s safe to assume that countless fans will be on the hunt for these elusive finds. The potential to skip the cinema ticket price makes this rumor all the more tantalizing!

“For a change, it appears that Paramount is receiving sympathy, as Sonic fans express disappointment over the potential leak of the movie. One supporter put it this way: ‘It’s truly disheartening if it happens. The people who worked tirelessly on the film will see their efforts leaked before it even hits theaters, which is just unfortunate.’“

“A second person joined in, expressing concern that the delay in releasing the trailer has people upset, which is understandable, but this situation is exceptional. Finally, a third individual summarized their thoughts by stating that the movie’s creators shouldn’t receive such criticism 👎👎.” It’s worth noting that it’s common for movies to be leaked or appear online before their official release, and despite Origins: Wolverine being delayed, it still grossed a substantial amount of $373 million against its production budget of $150 million.”

Recently, Paramount has encountered some setbacks. The SpongeBob spin-off film featuring Plankton from 2025 leaked early, and Netflix faced an Arcane Season 2 leak. Given these circumstances in the world of video game adaptations, it might be beneficial for Paramount to unveil the trailer for Sonic 3 soon.
