Article Summary

  • Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is confirmed and set for a spring 2027 release by Paramount Pictures.
  • Director Jeff Fowler teases fans with possibilities for new character introductions.
  • The franchise continues after Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and its intriguing mid-credit scenes.
  • No confirmed return for Fowler, but the successful formula is likely to remain unchanged.

Back in November, director Jeff Fowler confirmed that the third film was much like the second film in that the ending set up a fourth film quite simply. For the second movie, we saw Shadow, and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 shows off some new characters, but those would be spoilers. "It's fun to see the fan debates online about who's coming up next, who's going to be teased at the end of the film," Fowler said to Entertainment Weekly. "We have a lot of the same conversations. We've all got our favorites on the filmmaking side, and we're all making great cases for 'it should be this one or that one.' It is fun to keep that anticipation. This movie is no different in terms of teasing new characters." Well, people going to see the movie this weekend don't need to be worried about Paramount not following through on those mid and post-credit teases. According to Variety, not only has Paramount reportedly confirmed that a third movie is in the works, but they are already targeting a spring 2027 release date, which isn't that far away if you think about it. At the moment, we don't have any other details like if Fowler or anyone else involved with the previous films will return behind the camera, but no one wants to fix something that isn't broken, so you can expect that Paramount will do what they can to keep the formula that works the same for Sonic the Hedgehog 4.
