Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024) is set to be the next thrilling chapter in the live-action/CGI hybrid series based on Sega’s iconic video game character. Following the success of Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022), which garnered both critical and commercial success, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is eagerly anticipated by fans of the blue speedster and his ever-growing world. The film will continue Sonic’s journey, introduce new characters, and raise the stakes in an action-packed adventure.

The plot of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 picks up after the events of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, where Sonic (voiced by Ben Schwartz), Tails (voiced by Colleen O’Shaughnessey), and Knuckles (voiced by Idris Elba) have formed an unlikely but strong alliance. The ending of the second film set the stage for a new adventure, with the arrival of Dr. Robotnik’s (Jim Carrey) nemesis, the mysterious and powerful Shadow the Hedgehog, who plays a significant role in the next chapter.

In this film, Sonic is facing not only his old foe Dr. Robotnik but also new threats as Shadow is brought to life on the big screen, following his comic book origins as an antihero with a complicated past. Shadow’s arrival will bring a darker, more intense edge to the film, as he is both a rival to Sonic and someone who challenges the very idea of what it means to be a hero. His past, tied to the mysterious Project Shadow, and his connection to the powerful Chaos Emeralds will form a major part of the story.
