The filming for Sonic 4 is now underway in Vancouver, as confirmed by director Jeff Fowler.
On X, Fowler shared a first-look behind-the-scenes image of himself holding Amy Rose’s Piko Piko Hammer. He wrote, “Ready 4 Action. Sonic Movie 4 now filming. In theaters worldwide March 2027.” See the image below.
Here’s the plot details for Sonic 4:
Heroes Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles go on their biggest adventure yet as Dr. Robotnik unleashes his greatest creation, Metal Sonic, but it’s not the only one. With newcomer Amy Rose, they embark on an epic journey to save the future.
At the end of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Team Sonic (Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Tom, and Maddie) survives, while Robotnik is destroyed in the explosion of the Eclipse Cannon. But the action doesn’t stop there — the mid-credits scene introduces Amy Rose and several Metal Sonics — and the post-credits scene confirms that Shadow survived the final battle. Although his face isn’t shown, his iconic shoes give him away — and he is seen picking up one of his gold wrist cuffs from a crater.
Jeff Fowler, who directed the three Sonic the Hedgehog films, will return to direct the fourth movie from a screenplay by Pat Casey, John Whittington, and Josh Miller. The ensemble cast features James Marsden, Jim Carrey, Tika Sumpter, Idris Elba, Colleen O’Shaughnessey, and Keanu Reeves as Shadow the Hedgehog, a character beloved by fans of the video games. Neal H. Moritz and Toby Ascher of Original Films and Toru Nakahara return as producers.
Sonic 4 will hit theaters on March 19, 2027, by Paramount Pictures.
