Sonic Races to Screens: Stream and Showtimes Unveiled
The "Ugly Sonic" debacle of 2019 feels like a distant memory. While the first Sonic the Hedgehog film wasn't a perfect video game adaptation, it launched a successful franchise starring Ben Schwartz as Sonic, Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik, and, in its latest installment, Keanu Reeves as Shadow.
IGN's review of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 praises its improved humor, visuals, and Carrey's performance, deeming it superior to its predecessors. And the series' expansion beyond a trilogy is confirmed, with Sonic the Hedgehog 4 slated for 2027.
Planning to see Sonic 3? Here's the lowdown on its release:
How to Watch Sonic 3: Theatrical, Digital, and Physical Release
