Why it matters

Director Jeff Fowler returns to helm Paramount's live-action series, which has grossed over one billion dollars worldwide as a major video game adaptation franchise.

About Sonic the Hedgehog 4

Paramount's live-action Sonic films have quietly become one of the steadier video game adaptations running, and Sonic the Hedgehog 4 continues the run with Jeff Fowler directing his fourth in the series. The hook this time is Metal Sonic, Robotnik's mechanical copy, teased at the close of the third film, and Amy Rose, the hammer-swinging hedgehog, joining the lineup with Kristen Bell in the part. Ben Schwartz, Idris Elba, Keanu Reeves, Jim Carrey, James Marsden and Colleen O'Shaughnessey all return around them.

It opens on March 19, 2027. Filming wrapped in the United Kingdom in May 2026, and Fowler marked the occasion with a photo of a life-size Metal Sonic, which is close to everything Paramount has said about the plot. The series has cleared a billion dollars worldwide across three movies by staying unfussy: short runtimes, Carrey allowed to improvise, and enough references to satisfy players without locking anyone else out. Nothing announced so far suggests the fourth changes that formula.
