《刺猬索尼克 4》发行日期公布

The next chapter in the Sonic the Hedgehog saga is speeding towards theaters! Paramount Pictures has officially slated Sonic the Hedgehog 4 for a March 19, 2027 release, as reported by Variety. While details remain scarce beyond the release date, anticipation is high following the phenomenal success of Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 raked in an impressive $218 million domestically and over $420 million globally, solidifying its position as the highest-grossing film in the franchise. This achievement is particularly noteworthy considering the initial design controversy surrounding the first film, which underwent significant post-production alterations.

Further cementing its success, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 also stands as the second highest-grossing video game movie in North America, trailing only the animated Super Mario Bros. Movie. The cinematic rivalry between Nintendo and Sega continues!

The live-action Sonic universe continues to expand, now encompassing three feature films and a Knuckles-centric spin-off streaming series. The films, based on the beloved Sega game franchise, follow Sonic (voiced by Ben Schwartz) as he battles his arch-nemesis, Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey). Each installment introduces more iconic characters, including Tails (Colleen O'Shaughnessey) and Knuckles (Idris Elba), with Sonic 3 finally introducing Shadow the Hedgehog (Keanu Reeves).

While Sonic 3 hinted at the next character joining the franchise, we'll keep that a secret for now. For those eager to learn more, our character guide and Sonic 3 review are available for your perusal.
