Sonic The Hedgehog 4 crawls into theaters in 2024

Sonic takes five. Well, three. Sore Black, Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is in development for 2027 release.

The third entry in the Sonic saga hits theaters tomorrow with an excellent review from The AV club and a post-credits sequence that teases several Green Hill residents breaking free from their Prison Eggs, and years of fan art featuring them with a very pregnant Sonic the Hedgehog. Fingers crossed that Rouge The Bat and Amy Rose finally enter the fray in the next movie. Emmy, Golden Globe and Tony winning actress Sarah Paulson previously threw her hat into the Rouge ring. “No one has called me to play Rouge the Bat,” she told Cartoon“but I want them to.” It would take Paramount to call her because Sarah Paulson is going to play Rouge. We can’t think of a better role for one of the best actors working today than Rouge the Bat.

Adapt quickly like its namesake, it Sonic The Hedgehog franchise first rushed into theaters in 2020. What could have been a forgotten blockbuster from yesteryear turned out to be one of Paramount’s more lucrative tentpoles in the past few years. It shows how much things can change in a short time. Four years later, there are three Sonic movies, two Robotniksand one Knuckles TV series, an impressive output for the chili dog-loving erinaceidae, who began his moment in the limelight with some truly nasty teeth. It shows how much a good veneer can change things.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 opens tomorrow.
