Sonic 4 is due to release in theaters on March 19, 2027, as reported by Deadline. However, as Paramount Pictures is yet to release a synopsis for the sequel, fans have already taken to Reddit and are theorizing what storyline from the original Sonic games the movie could follow.

We already knew it was coming, thanks to Paramount's announcement at the end of last year, but the Sonic the Hedgehog 4 movie now has a release date. It is, however, still a fair way out - with Sonic's next big screen undertaking currently not due until 2027.

The fourth film in the Paramount Pictures franchise has grossed a series-best $422 million in theaters and generated more than $180 million in home entertainment rentals and purchases.
