Paramount unveiled the first trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 4 at CinemaCon in Las Vegas. Attendees described footage showing Jim Carrey's Dr. Robotnik emerging alive from a spaceship. The film is set for release on March 19, 2027.
Paramount Pictures presented an early look at Sonic the Hedgehog 4 during CinemaCon, an industry trade show in Las Vegas, following a similar reveal for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 in 2024. The teaser trailer primarily featured footage from the first three Sonic movies, according to descriptions from attendees who viewed it exclusively in person. Reporter Jeffrey Harris shared on X that the new footage depicted Jim Carrey's Ivo “Eggman” Robotnik staggering out of a spaceship and shouting, “Robotnik…saves…world!” This suggests the character survives his heroic sacrifice from Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and may retain a heroic turn, echoing past temporary alliances with Sonic and his friends against greater threats. Amy Rose also appeared in the trailer but did not speak, offering no preview of Kristen Bell's voice performance as the pink hedgehog. Earlier concept art from Sonic the Hedgehog 3 hinted at Metal Sonic originating from an alternate-universe Robotnik, potentially preserving Carrey's return without negating the prior film's events. Details on how the movie will resolve these elements remain unclear. Sonic the Hedgehog 4 arrives in theaters on March 19, 2027.
