Jeff Fowler, who directed the first two movies, is set to return to oversee the latest sequel. Though we don’t have details about the plot just yet, the inclusion of Shadow may indicate that “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” will adapt the story of “Sonic Adventure 2.”
That game heavily features Shadow and tells the story of how he was created in a lab in outer space by Eggman’s grandfather. There’s also a plot involving a young girl named Maria who is shot down by cops in front of Shadow — a story that has followed with every single Sonic portrayal so far, so there’s a chance that kids will see the cops kill a little girl in their cute and funny little “Sonic the Hedgehog” movie. Or maybe not.
In the meantime, we know that Paramount is also making a spin-off series centered on Idris Elba’s character Knuckles for Paramount+.
