Exciting news for Sonic the Hedgehog fans! Following the massive success of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 at the box office, Paramount has officially announced the release of Sonic the Hedgehog 4, set to hit theaters on March 19, 2027.
The popular video game-inspired series, featuring a talented cast including Jim Carrey, Ben Schwartz, Keanu Reeves, and Idris Elba, has been a hit for both Paramount and Sega. The first film in the series, released in 2020, grossed $319 million worldwide and broke records as the highest-grossing video game adaptation in North America. The latest installment, which introduced Shadow the Hedgehog, has earned an impressive $422 million, contributing to the franchise’s overall success of over $1 billion.
With the mid-credits scene in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 hinting at the arrival of a beloved character, it was only a matter of time before a fourth film was announced. While the plot remains under wraps, it’s likely that key voice actors such as Ben Schwartz (Sonic), Colleen O’Shaughnessey (Tails), and Idris Elba (Knuckles) will return. Jim Carrey, who plays the notorious Dr. Robotnik, has also expressed interest in reprising his role if the script is compelling.
According to reports, Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is currently the only film scheduled for release on its designated date, but plans could change in the next two years. Fans may have to wait a bit longer for Sonic’s next adventure, but the anticipation is undoubtedly building for what promises to be another thrilling installment in the beloved franchise.
