WATCH: Sonic the Hedgehog 4 title reveal marks one yeaar out from release

March 19th, 2026 by Marc Comments

We have our first teaser for Sonic the Hedgehog 4, and along with the title reveal, below, we now know that we’re just a year out from its release and that Jim Carrey is returning as Robotnik!

Word on the street is that Carrey is actually filming his scenes at the moment.

The Sonic franchise, now coming up on four live-action movies and a TV series, has really become a fan favourite over the last few years, which is especially impressive given the fan reaction to Sonic’s original look in the 2020 movie, which led the studio to pivot and redesign the character and push the movie back. It was worth it as the fans have rewarded them and stuck by them every step of the way since.


Sonic The Hedgehog director promises the character will be redesigned before movie’s release


Just goes to show, if you show the fans you care what they think, it not only ensures they’ll stand by you, but it also means you’re more likely to have a successful movie. Now, who could learn from that? Answers on a postcard…

Directed by: Jeff Fowler

Cast: Jim Carrey, Ben Schwartz, Kristen Bell, Idris Elba, Keanu Reeves, James Marsden, Tika Sumpter, Ben Kingsley, Matt Berry, Colleen O’Shaughnessey, Lee Majdoub, Nick Offerman, Richard Ayoade.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
