As many can gather from headlines and updates across the internet and social media, the next Sonic the Hedgehog movie has hit theaters this week. While the film is still in its opening weekend, the audience response to Sonic the Hedgehog 2 sits at 98% on Rotten Tomatoes. But anticipating the greater response from the box office to be another success, looking ahead is certainly bright for the series.
Already, actor James Marsden signed a multi-film deal for the Sonic the Hedgehog series. However, Paramount has openly cashed in on the franchise. In that, it announced a third Sonic the Hedgehog movie is in the works. Additionally, it is said that Knuckles is to receive a television series on Paramount+ later in 2023 as well.
Recently from Giant Freaking Robot, the outlet reports that is not all on the way. According to sources, Tails is also starring in his own feature. But unlike the emerald hunter Echidna, out two-tailed fox is said to receive a full-length film. The source previously spoke on a live-action Sonic the Hedgehog series which was later corroborated by Paramount for the Knuckles show.
As for the consensus of the Tails movie, it is undetermined how it will be approached. More specifically, will it be a box office release in theaters or straight to streaming? Understanding that Sonic the Hedgehog is the main mascot for the series, it is very possible Paramount will ship the Tails film directly to Paramount+ alongside Knuckles TV series.
Previously, Giant Freaking Robot also reported on a Call of Duty movie in the works. While details are light on the production, it is said Dwayne Johnson is to star in the picture. In an interview with Men’s Journal, he told the unnamed film is “to bring one of the biggest, most badass games to the screen”. You can read the full report by heading here.
