Sonic the Hedgehog 3: Streaming Options and Theater Showtimes

We've come a long way since the infamous "Ugly Sonic" trailer in 2019. While the first Sonic the Hedgehog movie may not have been the pinnacle of video game adaptations, it successfully launched a cinematic universe featuring Ben Schwartz as Sonic, Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik, and now, in its latest installment, Keanu Reeves as Shadow.

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