*Caution – this article reveals plot details for Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and 2*.
As the third instalment of the Sonic the Hedgehog live-action film series gears up to hit theatres, fans are curious about whether there’s a post-credits scene in the latest flick.
In their newest cinematic adventure, Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails join forces to combat an unprecedented adversary – a cryptic foe with unparalleled abilities. This formidable entity, known as Shadow, is voiced by Keanu Reeves in the movie. The trio also squares off against Jim Carrey’s Dr Robotnik once more, reports the Mirror.
However, moviegoers will be eager to discover if this marks the end of the franchise or if there are hints of further sequels. Here’s all you need to know about a potential post-credits scene and its implications. Beware, spoilers for Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and 2 follow, along with discussions about possible surprises after the third film.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 does feature a post-credits scene. Much like its predecessors, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 appears to tease events of a possible sequel. In fact, news of its existence leaked online several days prior to the film’s official cinema release.
The inaugural film’s post-credits sequence introduced us to Tails, as Sonic’s ally announced that they ‘found him’ and hurried off to reunite with his mate. In the sequel, remarks made by military personnel concerning the havoc Robotnik unleashed in the film mention that they ‘discovered something’ hidden for half a century. It turns out to be Shadow’s whereabouts.
It’s no shocker that Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is expected to drop a similar cliffhanger. Unofficially shared clips online verify the scene’s significance, heralding an intriguing development for seasoned devotees of the Sonic franchise.
We’ll avoid providing explicit details here about what or who appears at the tail end of the third movie, but indications point to it maintaining the tradition of teasing new friends or foes for Sonics potential next adventure.
Enthusiasts who’ve caught the sneak peek have taken to social media to voice their enthusiasm about its implications for Sonic’s future journeys. Sharing on Reddit, one user exclaimed: “Post credit? Felt like a short film. Love it.”
Someone else chimed in: “I’m happy for the fanbase, as this is clearly what most people wanted.” A third commented: “This looks epic as the last movies’ post credit scenes.”
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is in cinemas December 20.
