Quote:A new copyright preregistration for Sonic the Hedgehog 4 has revealed the first official plot description for Paramount Pictures and SEGA’s next Sonic movie.
The listing, found through the Copyright Public Records System, identifies Sonic the Hedgehog 4 as a motion picture, with work beginning around March 2026 and anticipated completion listed for January 2027. Paramount Pictures Corporation and SEGA of America are named as both authors and copyright claimants.
The description of the work gives a brief but direct summary of the movie’s setup:
“Sonic the Hedgehog, joined by new hero named Amy, faces a new technological nemesis known as Metal Sonic.”
While short, the synopsis confirms that Amy and Metal Sonic will be central to the fourth film’s story. Both characters were teased at the end of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, with Amy arriving to help Sonic during the mid-credits sequence and Metal Sonic appearing as a major new threat.
The registration also lists Jeff Fowler as director, continuing his work across the Sonic movie series. The listed cast includes Jim Carrey, Kristen Bell, Keanu Reeves, Ben Schwartz, James Marsden, and Idris Elba.
Kristen Bell is set to voice Amy Rose, while Ben Schwartz returns as Sonic, Idris Elba returns as Knuckles, and Keanu Reeves returns as Shadow. Jim Carrey is also listed, pointing to his continued involvement following his role as Dr. Robotnik in the previous films.
The copyright listing follows the recent confirmation that filming on Sonic the Hedgehog 4 has officially wrapped. Fowler shared the milestone with a behind-the-scenes image featuring Metal Sonic, giving fans their clearest look yet at the robotic rival before the film enters its longer post-production phase.
Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is currently scheduled to release in theaters on March 19, 2027. With the first official synopsis now pointing directly to Amy and Metal Sonic, the next movie appears ready to build on the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 cliffhanger while bringing two of the franchise’s most recognizable classic-era characters into the spotlight.
