Patrick Casey and Josh Miller, who are two of the writers for the Sonic the Hedgehog movies, have spoken at an event about their plans for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie. It seems as though the third film will introduce more Sonic characters which haven’t appeared in the previous two films such as Amy Rose and that they are also looking to bring elements from the beloved Dreamcast game Sonic Adventure 2 and the poorly received Shadow the Hedgehog into the third movie. The duo said that the current plan is to release Sonic the Hedgehog 3 in 2024.
- When asked about Amy, and if she could appear in the sequel, the duo couldn’t answer it properly due to a non-disclosure agreement, but said that things are “in the works”.
- In regards to Jim Carrey possibly retiring from acting, the duo was hopeful to bring him back for the third film, but said that it was mainly up to Carrey.
- Miller was careful not to comment on specific plotlines for the third film, but concluded it was “not revealing”, given Shadow’s introduction to the movie franchise, that there are plans to incorporate elements from Sonic Adventure 2 and the Shadow the Hedgehog spin-off game in the film.
- Nothing can be said about Shadow’s voice actor, but the idea of aiming for a famous Hollywood actor to voice the hedgehog was not ruled off.
- Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is currently on what is called the “Blue Sky phase” of scriptwriting, where every idea of what the movie could be is being proposed, and the staff streamlines it into what the movie should be.
- The producers are aware of the fans’ desire to get Crush 40 to appear in a Sonic film. Even though the movie planning is early, Casey did not rule off the idea of getting the band in the next film.
- Miller: “In each new Sonic movie, as long as the people got the appetite for them, we’ll keep adding yet another person from the game universe.”
- The current plan is to get the third movie released in 2024.
