Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Is Introducing a New Character (Here’s Who It Might Be)

As a child of the ’90s and a lifelong fan of Sega, I eagerly await the arrival of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 with bated breath! The tantalizing hints dropped by director Jeff Fowler about introducing new characters have me on the edge of my seat.


In succession, the final scenes of two Sonic the Hedgehog films have introduced new Sega characters to viewers. At the conclusion of the first “Sonic the Hedgehog” movie, we had a brief encounter with Miles “Tails” Prower, Sonic’s sidekick and close companion. Similarly, the end of “Sonic the Hedgehog 2” subtly hinted at future events by quickly showing Shadow the Hedgehog. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, director Jeff Fowler has revealed that “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” will continue this pattern, setting up potential storylines for a future film.

As a cinephile, I can’t help but join in the exhilarating online discussions about potential upcoming characters and cliffhangers. Just like fans, we filmmakers have our own internal debates filled with passionate arguments for ‘it should be this director or that one.’ The thrill of maintaining suspense is something that transcends all films, including this one, as we continue to introduce intriguing new characters.

Over the past 30 years, Sonic the Hedgehog has accumulated numerous companions through Sega, offering a variety of possibilities for future characters. Among these intriguing choices, Metal Sonic seems the most likely adversary for an upcoming film. First introduced in “Sonic CD”, Metal Sonic is Dr. Robotnik’s creation and has since served as a persistent foe. Adapting the storyline from “Sonic CD” would also provide Fowler and Paramount with an opportunity to introduce Amy, who held significant importance in that game.

As a movie enthusiast, I’d say: “If you’re a fan of the Sonic universe and have been following the adventures of Shadow, then you might be intrigued by the idea of introducing another compelling character into the mix – Rouge the Bat. First appearing in ‘Sonic Adventure 2’, Rouge has since formed alliances with Shadow across various games. Given the rumors swirling about a possible Shadow spin-off film, it feels natural to consider incorporating members of Team Dark, a trio that includes Shadow, Rouge, and the robot E-123 Omega. This could potentially add depth and complexity to the storyline, making for an even more engaging cinematic experience.

To round things off, it’s worth mentioning that there could be an introduction of Silver the Hedgehog in the upcoming movie. This character first appeared in the controversial game Sonic ’06, but despite the game not being particularly well-regarded, Silver has managed to maintain some popularity. According to reports from insider Daniel Richtman, Paramount is contemplating including Silver in a future Sonic project. If this turns out to be true, we might catch a glimpse of it at the end of Sonic the Hedgehog 3. With the movie scheduled for release on December 20th, we’re not far from finding out what the future has in store for this franchise!
