SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3’s Post-Credits Scenes Have Leaked Online

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 hits theaters later this week, but footage and descriptions of the threequel’s post-credits scene are already making the rounds on social media platforms like X, Reddit, and TikTok.

How? We can’t imagine a critic has been obvious enough to pick up on these scenes, so this is likely a “reap what you sow” situation for Paramount Pictures after inviting influencers and YouTubers to early screenings.

Anyway, while we won’t publish the footage here (it’s not hard to find), we can tell you what’s currently being shared online.

It is said so Sonic the Hedgehog 3 ends with Sonic, Knuckles and Tails racing to see who is the fastest. Sonic wins easily, but zips too far into the distance and finds himself alone in a forest on the outskirts of New York. It is then that Metal Sonic appears, and in the battle that follows, our hero is surrounded by a whole squadron of robots.

Things look bleak for poor Sonic, and that’s when Amy shows up and saves him (we haven’t been able to confirm who plays the character or if she even speaks in the stinger).

For those of you who are unaware, Metal Sonic is a “Badnik” robot created by Dr. Eggman secretly to kill the speedster. There is typically one main Metal Sonic in the games and comics rather than a mindless army of them, so he could be a potential fourth movie controlling these soldiers.

As for Amy, the fan-favorite pink hedgehog is Sonic’s love interest and a character fans have long been waiting to see brought to the screen.

Another scene reveals that Keanu Reeves’ Shadow is still alive after his apparent death earlier in the film. We’d bet it’s a way to create a movie or streaming spin-off for the anti-hero similar to Paramount+’s Knuckles series.

Sonic the Hedgehog franchise director Jeff Fowler previously confirmed that we’ll see “new characters” in this latest film, saying: “It’s fun to watch the fan debates online about who’s coming next, who’s going to be teased at the end of the movie.”

“We have a lot of the same conversations. We all have our favorites on the film side, and we all make good cases about ‘it should be this or that’.” It’s fun to maintain that expectation,” he added. “This film is no different in terms of teasing new characters.”

Check back here later this week for our full breakdown of all the biggest moments and spoilers in Sonic the Hedgehog 3. In the meantime, check out the latest trailer below.
