So, according to Josh, they will make the Sonic movie franchise as the next Fast and Furious if more people show up to watch more Sonic movies.:

 

I do hope that Sonic the Hedgehog can get over 5 movies at least.  There are so many characters from the franchise that they could use for the big screen.

Same. I want my Tails movie from the Mission: Impossible team, dammit!

Since, they are planning to include elements from Sonic Adventure 2, I can see Sonic go back to San Francisco. I think how I think Amy could be in the next one. Maybe, she was the property owner of a apartment in San Francisco and pretend to be human? We could see a backstory of how she got to Earth.:

I’m curious how this is all gonna play out tbh. They’re gonna have to stumble across other game cast members at some point (because plot) anyway, I think it would feel more natural if they stumbled across them them while portal-jumping worlds (maybe to find at least one of the chaos emeralds, or tracking/evading a non-Jimbotnik villain) rather than have everyone independently gravitate towards Earth or be already here.

Ooh, good eye! Didn't even catch that.

If they want to make Sonic the next Fast & Furious-type franchise, then they'll be blowing their wad pretty early with [arguably] the most beloved 3D Sonic game. 

Unless they go in reverse and do SA1 afterward, no other modern-era stories could really follow up on it movie-wise, besides maybe Heroes or Unleashed.

Yeah, was expecting SA1 to be up next myself. Very surprised that they're going straight to Shadow, though he is pretty popular.

Spoiler

Unless they combine the two, but... I hope they don't. Wachowski needs to defeat a legit god by himself first, ya know?

I think they should do at least seven films so that the collectors box set can be styled after the chaos emeralds. Also if they run out of games to adapt they can always take inspiration from non game media. I’ve been saying that the Metal virus arc would be the Infinity War of the Sonic movies.

Ooh, I'd love that! And then they can top it by introducing Solaris...

[VO.SUPER]

Phew. I'm sure I'll nope out at a point once they start getting to the abstract stuff. 

But it will be nice seeing how the film franchise takes a life of its own.

Yeah, thanks. 

Also, do you think Randall will return for the next movie? I could imagine a scene of Randall and his squad trying to take down Shadow.:

I realized that Neal H. Moritz was one of the executive producers for the TV show, SWAT which the Randall actor stars in. I think he was probably as close to an government agent that they could get for the movie. I think that may be the reason why he got casted when he was officially announced months ago.:

That would be interesting if Randall had a bigger role in the third movie in capturing Shadow or something like that.

[CaptainRobo]

If Rouge appear in the movie. They could use a design similar to this one. This was drawn by ThePinkGalaxy55 from Twitter.:

[CaptainRobo]

So, it's look like we got an little update on The Knuckles TV show and it will connected to the third movie. The TV show will take place before the third movie. So, I guess we got the TV show to hold us over. It's going to be a while, since the movie will not be out until 2024.:

Interesting.  I do wonder if they will have some flashbacks to Knuckles' past in the series.  And I wonder what characters will be introduced into the series besides Sonic and Tails?  Maybe Rouge might make an appearance and maybe Amy Rose as well.

Yeah, so, the TV show will be a miniseries. That is pretty much what some of the TV shows like The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel, and Hawkeye that Marvel did for the past few years. All of these TV shows were setting up future MCU movies and TV shows. So, the show probably not intended to last that long.

Also, all of that is possible. Introducing new characters like Rouge and Amy in the TV show might save a lot of screen time for the third movie. So, there could be enough screen time for what the third movie need to show.

My only concern with the Knuckles series being tied to Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is that it might be a bit troublesome for some people who don't have Paramount Plus.  Like for example, Marvel has some TV shows like Wandavision and The Falcon and Winter Soldier that are directly tied to the movies.  If you haven't seen any of the TV shows, then you might be lost in seeing what happens in the movies.  Like in order to fully understand Dr. Strange in the Multiverse movie, you have to watch Wandavison to understand Wanda's character and I'm worried that if they introduced characters like Rouge and Amy Rose, then anyone who hasn't seen the Knuckles series would be confused about the appearance of Amy and Rouge.

A fair concern, but I really don't think we have anything to worry about. Dr. Strange 2, a movie for which WandaVision is essentially required viewing (supposedly)? The highest-grosser in Sam Raimi's ENTIRE CAREER, and I believe that it's still the overall box office king of the year so far. (Top Gun: HOLY SHIT WHY THE HELL IS It SO GODDAMN GOOD Maverick will likely overtake it in the next few weeks.) So this approach clearly works wonders, meaning that it'd make sense for Paramount to follow in Disney and WB/HBO Max's footsteps here.

Anyway, coming back around to the other topic of the thread. How would you react if, one fine day, Sega and Paramount announced this:

Spoiler

As stupid as it seems, it'd make sense for him to be Paramount's first pick for Shadow. TG Maverick, which I alluded to above,  is shaping up to be Paramount's biggest box-office hit in YEARS. And when combined with two Mission: Impossible movies coming up next, it's clear that he - not Transformers, not Nickelodeon, not even Star Trek - is by FAR their biggest asset in the playing field.

To be fair, some people on here are already dead set against it. And due to Cruise's... fucking WEIRD religion that shall not be named here, it's possible that Shad's alien origins would get cut outright were Tom to actually sign on board to the franchise. Still, based on Par's lucrative career with him, this is probably what they want. And ya know what? Assuming TC gives it his all... it just might work.

(Besides. Come on. EVERYONE wants to see the Vancouver spy shots of him performing his death-defying stunts... in a mo-cap suit... and a crummy Shadow mask... all whist kneeling down, to better capture Shadow's height. Lol.)

Paramount mentioned the 3rd movie at CineEurope.:

Among the upcoming animated titles that Paramount highlighted today were the next pic in the hit Sonic the Hedgehog franchise; 2023’s Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie; globetrotting Spanish animation Tadeo Jones and the Emerald Tablet; and the Seth Rogen- and Evan Goldberg-produced CG reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles which is due in summer 2023.

Also, Sonic 2 had now officially surpassed a worldwide total gross of $400 million. The movie is now the 5th highest-grossing video game movie in the world.:

Congrats to Sonic 2 for reaching 400 million!

How would you feel if Adam Driver is casted as Shadow? That would be cool because he and Ben were in a movie together back in 2014 which was the year that the Sonic movie was officially announced. That was the time when the movie was developed by Sony before they give it to Paramount. This movie is called This is Where I Leave You.

Much better actor than Keanu Reeves

On par with Battison, in my eyes. (And both are admittedly better than the meme pick of Cruise, lol.)

[CaptainRobo]

Nothing much new. The writer respond to this guy's question about the next movie.:
