Even though the second film doesn’t bow till the spring, Paramount Pictures and Sega Corporation are moving fast to build on its ever growing universe with projects in both the film and TV realms. Paramount Pictures and Sega Corporation have commenced development on a third feature film installment to the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. Additionally, Sega and Paramount+ are developing the first-ever original live-action Sonic series, to launch in 2023, which will feature the character Knuckles, with Idris Elba returning to voice the role. The character is set to make its debut in the upcoming sequel that bows on April 8

Really happy with how much faith they have in this.

Wtf is happening?!

 

[Captain Toad]

I read that as the show going to be called "Sonic 3 and Knuckles", which would have been awesome.

Biting off more than they can chew right now.

Who wants to bet Shadow will be the antagonist in the third movie?

 

[MiguelItUp]

Insane. I guess they wanna strike while the iron's hot. Could still blow up in their face though, lol.

Or, better yet, the Sega Cinematic Universe. Next up is Alex The Kidd, then Golden Axe, followed by Streets of Rage.

If he doesn''t wield guns then GTFO.

The third movie has to end with a cliffhanger, with a fourth movie called Sonic & Knuckles to complete it. Oh and they'll also have to release it as a bundle on Blu ray on a package called Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

Who will be the series 'Stan Lee'?

 

[Saber]

I think they are getting too excited. They should slowdown a bit and release once they know for certain if the sequel will be a hit or not.

 

[Belthazar]

Also as with anything Sonic related all I can ask is: please be good

 

[BusierDonkey]

What happened to making and releasing something BEFORE you make the sequel?

I loved the first one and will probably like the second but what if it's a pile of shit with a decent first trailer?

Paramount must be in a hurry to spend their money before inflation does it for them.
