Paramount desires to maintain the Sonic the Hedgehog film machine working via 2028: A fifth Sonic film, which seems to be a derivative, and never essentially Sonic the Hedgehog 5, is already on the books, Selection reported Monday.
We’re already getting Sonic the Hedgehog 4, which has a March 19, 2027 launch date — and should or could not be titled Sonic CD — however Paramount has now dedicated to a brand new “Sonic Universe Occasion Movie,” for a Dec. 22, 2028 debut in theaters. It is unclear what Paramount plans to do with the Sonic Universe, however after the occasions of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, which launched fan-favorite Shadow, a stand-alone film starring Keanu Reeves’ character actually appears inside the realm of chance (and profitability). Knuckles has already bought his spinoff.
However there are limitless choices on the subject of the Sonic Universe, comparable to
- A Massive the Cat spinoff, which will likely be inevitable after Massive the Cat is launched within the live-action/animated hybrid collection
- An adaptation of Mario & Sonic at The Olympic Video games, provided that the subsequent Olympics will occur in 2028 in Los Angeles and the world will nonetheless be within the throes of Olympic Fever
- Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II, ought to the dense tome that’s Sonic the Hedgehog 4 really require two films to inform, and since nothing has ever gone incorrect with Sonic the Hedgehog when delivered in episodic type
- The Homicide of Sonic the Hedgehog: A Knives Out Thriller, which I believe would qualify as a problem for writer-director Rian Johnson
Sonic the Hedgehog 4 guarantees to be a crowded affair, because the follow-up to Sonic 3 portended the arrival of Amy Rose and Steel Sonic within the live-action Sonic Universe. Ought to Jim Carrey return as Robotnik, alongside Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Tom, and Maddie, the movie could have fairly a couple of characters to juggle. (To date, nobody is formally connected to Sonic 4, even three-time Sonic director Jeff Fowler.)
Along with Sonic, Paramount may also increase the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise with a brand new live-action TMNT movie approaching Nov. 17, 2028. That is a part of the plan to Sonic-fy the Ninja Turtles, so maintain your breath for that one. The earlier live-action turtles did not end up so effectively.
