The film "Sonic 4" is expected to hit theaters in spring 2027, according to information published by Variety citing Paramount Pictures.
News about the creation of a new installment in the franchise emerged even before the release of the third "Sonic" film, which audiences will be able to see in 52 countries during the Christmas holidays. Critics have already noted the high ratings for the new film: it holds an 87% "freshness" score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The plot of the upcoming Sonic movie remains unknown for now. It is also unclear who will direct the fourth installment, as the previous three films were helmed by Jeff Fowler.
Jeff Fowler released the first film "Sonic the Hedgehog" in 2020, telling the story of the blue hedgehog and his human friend Tom from a parallel world. The sequel was released in 2022. Together, both films grossed $725.2 million worldwide.
