Summary
Sonic the Hedgehog 3may havejust been released on Dec. 20, but it looks like it won’t be long until fans will begin seeing information about Sonic the Hedgehog 4. That’s because it’ll apparently enter pre-production next month.
As first spotted by a Sonic fan account, theFilm & Television Industry Alliance, a film and television production tracking website, has been givena shoot date of Jun 08, 2025, with a projected release window of Spring 2027.
It’s likely that the movie won’t actually begin “shooting” on that date. Rather, it’ll enter the pre-production phase, with a script still needing to be finalized, among other elements, such as casting and budget. Still, it represents another major development for what has become a major success in the video game adaptation space.

Even before fans had a chance to watch the third movie,Paramount went ahead and confirmed that a fourth movie would be making its way to cinemas. Then,the third movie went ahead and helped the franchise gross over $1 billion at the box office, even managingto hold its own against Disney’s Lion King movie.
While the movie’s post-credit scene does give fans a good idea of what to expect next, it’s unclear if either Keanu Reeves (Shadow) or Jim Carey (Dr. Robotnik) will return.Carey recently said he’d “consider” a return, adding, “I never turn down a role unless I’m not interested. I love this crew, and it’s fun to make a movie with them.“As for Reeves, that is still murky,but given Shadow’s popularity, he’s likely a safe bet.
