Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is a 2024 hybrid live-action/animated sci-fi action comedy film and the third theatrical installment/fourth overall entry in the Sonic the Hedgehog live-action film series based upon the video game franchise by Sega. It is once more directed by Jeff Fowler, and reunites the cast of James Marsden, Ben Schwartz, Tika Sumpter, Colleen O'Shaughnessey, Idris Elba, Lee Majoub, and Jim Carrey. New faces to the cast include Krysten Ritter, Alyla Browne, James Wolk, Sofia Pernas, Cristo Fernandez, Jorma Taccone, and Keanu Reeves as the voice of Shadow the Hedgehog.
The third film finds Sonic forced to do battle with Dr. Robotnik once again. This time, Robotnik has recruited the aid of the mysterious Shadow, another hedgehog with super speed and a dark past relating to Robotnik’s own origins. But when Shadow’s designs overtake those of the not-so-good doctor, it will take everything Sonic and friends have to save the planet this time… maybe even putting aside his differences with his long time nemesis.
The film will premiere December 20, 2024.
