Will Sonic 3 be the last movie of the series?

No! Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is not scheduled to be the last film in the new franchise of the iconic character. The entire creative team from the previous installments will return, including the main cast members.

The movie series still has a lot of momentum, and although its release is set for December this year, fans are eagerly anticipating it, especially with the addition of Keanu Reeves as Shadow, an evil Hedgehog.

The Sonic universe continues to develop beyond this third part that will hit theaters, as there is also a series centered on Knuckles, and if all goes well, we might see other characters getting their own material.
