As a die-hard Sonic fan since the 90s, I can confidently say that the introduction of Metal Sonic at the end of Sonic 3 is not only plausible but inevitable. Having grown up with the blue blur and his metallic doppelganger, I’ve always had a soft spot for this robotic rival.


According to the director of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, the final scene in this upcoming movie is anticipated to introduce a brand-new character, paving the way for a fourth installment, and I’ve got a hunch about who that character might be.

Instead of focusing on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, let me tell you that at the conclusion of its initial two live-action films, the Sonic franchise ended with delightful post-credit scenes. At the end of the first movie, Tails leaped through a portal and wound up in Green Hills.

The sequel’s stinger was in another league. As GUN’s team cleaned up Robotnik’s wreckage, a government agent revealed they’d found a secret file dating back 50 years. She said it “coordinates to a secret research facility… it was a black site, sir. Someone worked very hard to keep this hidden.”

Wow, it’s Project Shadow!” exclaimed Commander Walter, as a glimpse of Shadow was revealed emerging from his frozen confines. Given my age – being 25 years old back then – my response might have been more boisterous than the rest of the moviegoers.

As a die-hard Sonic fan, it’s no shocker that Sonic 3 is set to carry on its established style, leaving quite an intriguing hint about the sequel, the long-awaited Sonic 4!

Jeff Fowler, the director of all three films, shared with Entertainment Weekly that it’s engaging to observe the heated discussions among fans on social media regarding who might appear in future installments and who could potentially make an appearance at the end of the movie.

In simpler terms, “We often find ourselves discussing similar topics. We each have our preferred films in the field of filmmaking, and we’re all passionately advocating for either ‘this one’ or ‘that one.’ It’s exciting to maintain this sense of excitement. Just like other movies, this one also introduces new characters in a tantalizing way.

The query arises as to whom we’re referring to. Could it possibly be Amy Rose, who claims to be Sonic’s girlfriend? Alternatively, could it be Rouge the Bat, Silver, Chaos, or Blaze?

Based on my forecast, Sonic 3 concludes by unveiling Metal Sonic as the primary antagonist for Sonic 4.

it shows Sonic possibly handing over one of his quills to Dr. Robotnik, which could imply a strategy to enlist his help against Shadow.

It’s understood that Robotnik is merely a short-term partner, and by using that pen (plus any additional information Sonic might offer to secure his aid), he has the potential to construct Metal Sonic.

Metal Sonic can be described as a malevolent robotic duplicate of the character Sonic. Known for his ruthlessness and unwillingness to negotiate, he frequently resorts to excessive force in achieving his objectives. He harbors a deep-seated belief in his own superiority over Sonic and aims to eliminate him completely as part of his final objective.

He’s clearly the next logical choice. Sonic has faced Robotnik twice already and is set to battle Shadow in Sonic 3, potentially reaching an understanding by the end. It seems improbable that the fourth installment would reuse Robotnik as the primary antagonist again. Instead, Metal Sonic could provide a platform for Carrey’s return without feeling repetitive of the first two movies.

However, it could also tee up a (loose) adaptation of Sonic Heroes, especially if Shadow ‘dies’ at the end of Sonic 3. This would tee up Amy’s introduction too, and it could incorporate elements of Sonic CD.
