Sonic the Hedgehog 3 introduces Amy Rose, Metal Sonic, and hints at Shadow’s comeback in two exciting post-credits scenes, setting up the exciting future of the franchise.
In the mid-credits scene, Sonic (voiced by Ben Schwartz) finds himself running into unknown territory, only to be ambushed by an army of Metal Sonics. These robot opponents, a creation of Dr. Ivo Robotnik (Jim Carrey), are iconic enemies from Sonic TV game series. Just when the going gets tough, a hooded figure with a massive Piko Piko Hammer smashes through the robots.
The character reveals herself as Amy Rose, a pink hedgehog known for her lively personality and unwavering affection for Sonic. Although Amy does not speak in the film, her dramatic introduction hints at an intriguing role in future episodes. Casting details for Amy’s voice actor have not yet been announced.
In the post-credits scene, Shadow (voiced by Keanu Reeves), presumed dead earlier in the film, is shown alive and recovering at what appears to be a meteor crash site. His survival ensures that he remains a central character as Team Sonic prepares to battle a growing army of Metal Sonics in Sonic the Hedgehog 4will be released in the spring of 2027.
Director Jeff Fowler teased this development, saying the team had “fun debates” about which characters to introduce. With Amy Rose and Shadow now joining the fray, Sonic fans have a lot to look forward to as the cinematic universe expands.
