Jeff Fowler, director of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, confirms that there will be new characters teased for a potential sequel following the next film.

Both 2020's Sonic the Hedgehog and its 2022 sequel finished by teasing a character that would have a big part to play in the follow-up — Tails the first time around and Shadow the second — and it seems that the third entry will be no different.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is headed our way next month, and it looks like fans are in for a treat. The film will reveal the character Shadow the Hedgehog, voiced by fan-favorite actor Keanu Reeves , who has been said to have really done his homework on the character.

Just like the two films before it, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will tease yet another new character to set up a potential fourth movie - and director Jeff Fowler is keeping an eye on your theories.

Past Sonic the Hedgehog films have teased the addition of new characters. As it turns out, the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3 may not be different at all. What new character will be teased in Sonic the Hedgehog 3?

Sonic 3 is seemingly following the path laid down by Tails and Shadow's post-credits scene debuts when it comes to introducing fresh faces for its threequel. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, director Jeff Fowler opened up on the possibility of bringing in "new characters" for Sonic 3 in a similar fashion to Tails and Shadow joining the cast after popping up in the preceding movie's after-credits stinger.
