Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024)
Paramount is doubling down on Sonic.
A third Sonic the Hedgehog movie is being developed by the studio, while a live-action series centering on the Idris Elba-voiced Knuckles is set for streaming service Paramount+.
The first Sonic film came out in 2020 and earned $320 million at the worldwide box office, while the sequel is set for release on April 8 and will introduce Elba’s Kunckles. For the sequel, Ben Schwartz returns as the voice of the iconic Sega videogame character, along with a supporting cast that includes Jim Carrey and James Marsden. Director Jeff Fowler also returns for the follow-up, along with writers Pat Casey and Josh Miller. It is currently unclear if the filmmaking team will return for the third film, which is still in early development.
Sega and Paramount+ are developing the live-action Sonic series, centering on Knuckles, which is set to launch in 2023. A creative team has yet to be announced.

This property has legs, for sure. It's been kept alive for years with the various animated shows and comic runs. Apparently the comics get really in depth into the lore and character development.

I liked the first one. Second one should have been good and I liked the additions of Tails and Knuckles but it wasn’t quite as good as the first if you ask me. I’ll probably still watch the third one though.

I liked both. I'm down for a third.

Some projects are just too important and special to stay retired from.

I think this is the first I've heard of Carrey retiring, aside from this movie. I'm all for people doing what they find best in life, but I really liked him in most movies, especially when he moved a bit further from the slapstick. As far as Sonic, I've enjoyed the first two, as have my family.

I guess Jim Carrey is back after all:

Keanu Reeves joined the cast as Shadow. Here is the interesting part. YouTube movie pundit John Campea originally broke the story on his show this morning and the trades are actually citing him.

Re: Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024)
I'm always torn on these things because I know there's been dedicated VAs doing the voices for the anime/games for years that have done a lot of work in establishing the character in the fandom, but also having voices like Idris Elba and Keanu Reeves is really cool too and can give a movie a little extra impact.

I watched the first Sonic movie. It was cute but forgettable. Haven’t bothered with the second one yet but I do love seeing Carrey acting like his old goofy self again.

I like these movies and this one looks extra fun with Shadow showing up.
