We barely remember all the controversy that existed with Sonic the movie around its titular character. We are talking, what times, about the ugly Sonic, although barely five years have passed since the original design of the sega hedgehog for his big leap into the cinema will disconcert everyone, and force Paramount to delay the premiere so that its animators could come up with another look for the creature. This began to be forgotten, then, at the moment when Sonic the movie It turned out to be great, and a big box office hit in March 2020.
Since then, with a pandemic in the middle and at the speed that characterizes the blue hedgehog, Sonic He has returned punctually to his appointment on the billboards. Sonic 2, the movie arrived in 2022, and another two years later we set out in 2024 with the plan that Sonic 3, the movie arrives this Friday in US theaters. A few days later, the 25th Christmas day, Sonic 3 will disembark in 52 more markets including Spain. The first criticisms already point to another triumph for Jeff Fowlerwho has directed all three films so far.
Prior to Sonic 3the two Sonic films have grossed 725 million dollars in total more 180 in rental and digital purchase income. The franchise has given rise to a series of Paramount+ titled Knucklesand in view of its American premiere there are forecasts of an opening between 55 and 60 million dollars throughout 3,800 rooms throughout the territory. Wow, the saga couldn't be going any better, so it's no surprise that Paramount wanted to keep up the pace and is pleased to announce that Sonic 4 is underway, according to Variety.
The plan then becomes that Sonic 4 premieres in the spring 2027. We do not know details of the plot and who would return, although given what we have seen, we can expect both Fowler and a good part of the regular cast. In all the Sonic films to date it has been Ben Schwartz the one in charge of giving voice to the hedgehog, with James Marsden playing his human friend and Jim Carrey in a starring role as recurring villain, Dr. Ivo Robotnik (who in Sonic 3 appears twice, joining forces with his grandfather Gerald (also played by Carrey). Idris Elba double Knuckles, and Keanu Reeves a Shadow en Sonic 3.
Without confirming that Sonic 3, the movie It is a success as the forecasts indicate, Paramount already has its eyes set on the future to continue making the most of the video game franchise that Sega inaugurated in 1991.
