Sonic the Hedgehog 3: Showtimes and Streaming Options

We've witnessed a remarkable journey since the infamous "Ugly Sonic" trailer debuted in 2019. The initial Sonic movie, while not the pinnacle of video game adaptations, successfully introduced us to a universe featuring Ben Schwartz as Sonic, Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik, and now, with the latest installment, Keanu Reeves voicing Shadow.

In IGN's review of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, A.A. Dowd praised the film, stating, "Better jokes, better imagery, and two (!) inspired comic performances by Jim Carrey give this Sonic sequel an edge over its overly kiddy predecessors." It's clear the franchise isn't stopping at a trilogy, as Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is already slated for release in 2027.
