00:00 Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is revving up for another Super Sonic adventure with our beloved blue
00:06 speedster.
00:07 Building on the incredible success of its predecessors, fans are buzzing with excitement
00:11 for this third installment.
00:13 Who can resist Sonic's iconic red shoes and sassy attitude?
00:17 He's become a true cinema favorite and his return to the big screen is highly anticipated.
00:24 August 2022 was a pivotal month for Sonic enthusiasts as it marked the unveiling of
00:29 the tentative release date for Sonic the Hedgehog 3, December 2024.
00:35 As for the cast, the big question is, who's making a comeback to join in on the fun in
00:39 this beloved video game adaptation?
00:42 First up, we've got the confirmed return of Ben Schwartz as Sonic, bringing his vibrant
00:47 portrayal back to the forefront.
00:49 It's a no-brainer really, Schwartz's rendition of our titular hedgehog has become inseparable
00:54 from the character since he first zipped into our lives in the 2020 Sonic film.
00:59 Next in line, we've got Colleen O'Shaughnessy who's given life to the industrious fox friend
01:04 Miles "Tails" Prower for years.
01:07 While not officially confirmed for the third film, Tails has made a lasting impression
01:12 in the cinematic universe and is likely to stick around.
01:15 Then there's the magnetic Idris Elba, gracing us with his talent as the fan favorite Knuckles
01:21 the Echidna.
01:22 With a spin-off series in the works, it's a safe bet that we'll be seeing more of Knuckles
01:27 in Sonic 3.
01:29 Moving on to the human stars, James Marsden, the ever-reliable Tom Wachowski will probably
01:34 continue to be the face of the Sonic films.
01:37 After all, he's been there for the adventures, adopting Sonic, Knuckles and Tails as his
01:42 sons and is ready to face whatever threats come their way.
01:46 And let's not forget Tika Sumter as Maddie Wachowski, Tom's veterinarian wife, is likely
01:52 to be back for the ride alongside Tom.
01:55 Adam Pally's Wade Whipple, the lovable Green Hills police officer, is another character
02:00 we'd bet on returning.
02:01 We could all use some of Wade's goofy humor in Sonic 3.
02:05 A loose end from last film, Agent Stone, the right-hand man to the dastardly Dr. Eggman,
02:10 is also likely to make a reappearance.
02:13 But here's the million-dollar question, is Jim Carrey reprising his role as Dr. Robotnik?
02:19 It's a bit of a long shot, Carrey, who brought the primary antagonist to life in the first
02:23 two films, hinted that Sonic the Hedgehog 2 might be his acting swan song.
02:29 But hey, his character's fate was left a bit open-ended, so we can't rule out a surprise
02:34 return despite Carrey's initial sentiments.
02:37 Guess we'll have to wait and see if the mustachioed villain graces the screen once more.
02:43 One exciting tidbit to consider is how the third movie might seamlessly pick up from
02:47 the intriguing post-credits scene of its predecessor.
02:51 That scene introduced us to Shadow the Hedgehog, hinting at a potentially more substantial
02:55 role in the upcoming installment.
02:58 Shadow's complex backstory involving Dr. Robotnik's ancestors could bring in fresh challenges and
03:03 adventures for our speedy blue hero, Sonic.
03:07 One of the major speculations swirling around is the possibility of the Ultimate Lifeform
03:11 storyline making its mark and how deeply the third movie will delve into Shadow's connections.
03:17 It's all a bit of a mystery right now, but the anticipation is part of the excitement.
03:22 Insiders from the industry have dropped hints that the main production for Sonic the Hedgehog
03:26 3 is gearing up to kick off later this year.
03:29 Jeff Fowler, the creative force behind the previous two Sonic films, is expected to reprise
03:35 his role in the director's chair.
03:37 That's great news for fans who loved what he did with the earlier movies.
03:42 Considering the immense success and the visually stunning nature of the previous films, it's
03:46 safe to say that the new installment will likely place a significant emphasis on visual
03:51 effects.
03:52 Crafting those breathtaking visuals demands time and effort, so it's expected to be a
03:57 substantial part of the production timeline.
04:00 As for the production, in August, it was announced that filming for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 would
04:04 kick off without actors.
04:06 Hollywood's actors and writers have been rallying for better working conditions, improved residual
04:11 payments, and fair use of AI, among other demands.
04:15 Despite this, some productions, including Sonic the Hedgehog, have found a way to move
04:20 forward.
04:21 After the massive success of the first two films, effectively ushering in a new era for
04:26 video game adaptations, Sonic the Hedgehog is making a grand return with a third movie
04:31 and a spin-off TV show.
04:33 However, the plans to expand the franchise have hit a temporary pause due to the ongoing
04:38 situation in Hollywood.
04:39 Yet there's hope, as the next film is gearing up for some production work while everyone
04:44 waits for the strike to conclude.
04:46 According to a report by Screen Daily, the upcoming movie featuring our blue speedy hero
04:51 will commence shooting in September, focusing on scenes without actors, as they're unable
04:56 to join the production due to the strike.
04:58 A similar situation is unfolding for other productions, like Paddington in Peru and House
05:03 of the Dragon, adjusting their plans amid the Hollywood strike.
05:08 So do you think Jim Carrey will return?
05:10 Let me know in the comments!
