Amy Rose will be Sonic the Hedgehog 4's new character, and the upcoming fourth film doesn't need to bring back her original Sonic CD role.

In Sonic 3 ’s mid-credits stinger, an army of Metal Sonics show up to neutralize Sonic. But a savior arrives: Amy Rose, cloaked and armed with a giant mallet, and she lays waste to the robotic Sonic clones. Neither Metal Sonic nor Amy speaks during the scene, which leaves their places in the story open-ended for now.

Sonic 4 is due to release in theaters on March 19, 2027, as reported by Deadline. However, as Paramount Pictures is yet to release a synopsis for the sequel, fans have already taken to Reddit and are theorizing what storyline from the original Sonic games the movie could follow.

Paramount's upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 4 movie now has an official release date, but naturally, it's a pretty long time away.

After previous reporting in December confirmed another Sonic sequel was in the works, Paramount has officially announced that Sonic the Hedgehog 4 will arrive in theaters in March 2027.

Concept art for Sonic 3 might have just revealed how Metal Sonic and Amy join the story in Sonic 3 - and it could centre around time travel.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is set to hit theaters on March 2027. According to Variety, Paramount has scheduled the next Sonic movie to hit the big screen on March 19, 2027 give us two years until we see the blue blur back in action.

Voice actress Colleen O’Shaughnessey spoke to ComingSoon Editor-in-Chief Tyler Treese about reprising her role as Tails in the Sonic the Hedgehog movies following roles on TV shows and video games. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is now available on digital and will arrive on 4K Ultra HD,
