Paramount wants to keep the Sonic the Hedgehog<\/a> movie machine running through 2028: A fifth Sonic movie, which appears to be a spinoff, and not necessarily Sonic the Hedgehog 5, is already on the books, Variety<\/a> reported Monday.<\/p>\n

We’re already getting Sonic the Hedgehog 4, which has a March 19, 2027 release date \u2014 and may or may not be titled Sonic CD<\/a> \u2014 but Paramount has now committed to a new “Sonic Universe Event Film,” for a Dec. 22, 2028 debut in theaters. It’s unclear what Paramount plans to do with the Sonic Universe, but after the events of Sonic the Hedgehog 3<\/a>, which introduced fan-favorite Shadow, a stand-alone movie starring Keanu Reeves’ character certainly seems within the realm of possibility (and profitability). Knuckles<\/a> has already got his spinoff.<\/p>\n

But there are limitless options when it comes to the Sonic Universe, such as<\/p>\n

A Big the Cat spinoff, which will be inevitable after Big the Cat is introduced in the live-action\/animated hybrid series<\/p>\n

An adaptation of Mario & Sonic at The Olympic Games, given that the next Olympics will happen in 2028 in Los Angeles and the world will still be in the throes of Olympic Fever<\/p>\n

Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II, should the dense tome that is Sonic the Hedgehog 4 actually require two movies to tell, and because nothing has ever gone wrong with Sonic the Hedgehog when delivered in episodic form<\/p>\n

The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog: A Knives Out Mystery, which I think would qualify as a challenge for writer-director Rian Johnson<\/a><\/p>\n

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 promises to be a crowded affair, as the follow-up to Sonic 3 portended the arrival of Amy Rose and Metal Sonic<\/a> in the live-action Sonic Universe. Should Jim Carrey return as Robotnik, alongside Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Tom, and Maddie, the film will have quite a few characters to juggle. (So far, no one is officially attached to Sonic 4, even three-time Sonic director Jeff Fowler.)<\/p>\n

In addition to Sonic, Paramount will also expand the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise with a new live-action TMNT film coming on Nov. 17, 2028. That’s part of the plan to Sonic-fy the Ninja Turtles<\/a>, so hold your breath for that one. The previous live-action turtles didn’t turn out so well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paramount wants to keep the Sonic the Hedgehog movie machine running through 2028: A fifth Sonic movie, which…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":170184,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[93,61,60,270],"class_list":["post-170183","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170183","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=170183"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170183\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/170184"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=170183"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=170183"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=170183"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
