Warning: Contains SPOILERS for Sonic the Hedgehog 3!
Sonic the Hedgehog 3’spost-credits scene finally revealed Amy Rose as well as the villainous Metal Sonic, and here are five predictions for who could be inSonic the Hedgehog 4’s post-credits scene based on that. EverySonic the Hedgehogmovie so far was had a post-credits scene that reveals a character for the next film, with Tails appearing in the first movie, Shadow appearing in the second, andAmy and Metal Sonic appearing in the third.Sonic the Hedgehog 4will most likely continue this trend, meaning that the film will again have to tease what is coming next.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3’s post-credits scenesees the titular blue blur accidentally run to a wooded area in New York, where he is surprised and attacked by a robotic version of himself. This is Metal Sonic from theSonic the Hedgehogvideo games, but he isn’t alone. Sonic soon finds himself facing off against an entire army of Metal Sonics, and they seem to be a bit overwhelming. Luckily,a cloaked, hammer-wielding character saves the day by smashing the robots, with her then revealing herself to be Amy Rose.
5Eggman Nega
He Could Be Behind Metal Sonic’s Sonic 4 Role
It has been highly theorized that Jim Carrey’s Doctor Robotnik will return inSonic the Hedgehog 4in a different form, likely as Eggman Nega.Eggman Nega is a descendant of Ivo Robotnikfrom the future, with him coming back in time and acting as a more competent version of Ivo. These theories state that Eggman Nega could be behind the Metal Sonic army, sending them back in time to kill Sonic.
Sonic The Hedgehog 4 Plot Theory
Screen Rant looks into possible plot theories for Sonic The Hedgehog 4.
This Eggman Nega theory would require the Metal Sonics to be a secondary antagonist to Eggman, which may overshadow the popular metallic villain. Thus, another option would be to have Metal Sonic’s creator remain a mystery throughoutSonic the Hedgehog 4, with the film only revealing the return of Jim Carrey as Eggman Nega in a post-credits scene.
4Silver The Hedgehog
Building On Sonic 4’s Potential Time Travel Story
The use of Metal Sonic and Amy Rose has led many fans to believe thatSonic the Hedgehog 4will adaptSonic CD, a story that will heavily involve time travel. However,Sonic CDisn’t the only game that uses time travel, with it also being featured in 2006’sSonic the Hedgehogreboot. So,onceSonic the Hedgehog 4getsSonic CD’s story out of the way,Sonic the Hedgehog 5can build on the time travel story by introducing Silver the Hedgehog. Like in the game, Silver could travel back in time and attempt to kill Sonic, only to later realize his misunderstanding and join Team Sonic.
3Blaze The Cat
She Could Appear Alongside Silver
While the second and thirdSonic the Hedgehogmovies each only introduced one new character,Sonic the Hedgehog 3’s post-credits scene introduced two, setting a massive precedent. So, if Silver the Hedgehog is featured inSonic the Hedgehog 4’s post-credits scene, then it is likely that Blaze the Cat will appear beside him. Although Blaze’s origins have been changed a few times, when Silver is involved,Blaze is often presented as another time traveler from the post-apocalyptic future, meaning that it makes sense for her to appear as well.
2Black Doom
Continuing Shadow The Hedgehog’s Story
Sonic the Hedgehog 3actually had two post-credits scenes, with the second one teasing the return of Shadow the Hedgehog. It isn’t known ifShadow will return inSonic the Hedgehog 4or if he will get his own spinoff. If a spinoff movie does happen, it is more likely that Black Doom would appear as a villain in that. However, if Shadow becomes a recurring character in the main films,then Black Doom could be the villain ofSonic the Hedgehog 5, with him being set up in the post-credits scene ofSonic the Hedgehog 4.
1Chaotix
They Would Be A Complete Change Of Pace
While there are plenty of villains in theSonic the Hedgehogfranchise, the movie series' post-credits scenes have mostly focused on Sonic’s friends, with the villainous Shadow even becoming one after his debut. Thus,Sonic the Hedgehog 4could pull off a similar trick by introducing Chatoix, a trio that could start out as an antagonistic force before becoming friends with Sonic.
Sonic The Hedgehog 3 Box Office Numbers: Total, Worldwide, Domestic, & Opening
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is the latest installment in a successful franchise, but how much has it made and how does it compare to the previous two movies?
SinceSonic the Hedgehog 3’s post-credits scene kicked things up a notch by introducing two characters,Sonic the Hedgehog 4could go even further by introducing three. Vector the Crocodile, Charmy Bee, and Espio the Chameleon are fun characters who alone may not generate much hype. By introducing them together, however,Sonic the Hedgehog 4’s post-credits scene could introduce a unique story that finally isn’t centered on the Robotniks, which would be a nice change of pace afterSonic the Hedgehog 3.
