2024-12-19
The Sonic franchise has been a sensation in the world of gaming and cinema. With the release of Sonic 3, the lightning-fast hedgehog's movie journey comes to a close, but the possibilities for more adventures seem endless. James Marsden, who has played Tom Wachowski in all three Sonic movies, shares his thoughts on the future of these beloved films. "I guess the great thing about these movies is that if the audience continues to love them, we hopefully get to keep making them," he says. It's a rare thing nowadays to be able to do a second movie, let alone a third, and it's a huge testament to the fans loving what we do. There's nothing better than that. If you keep liking what we're putting out there, we'll continue to make these movies."

Sonic's Race Isn't Over Yet - Keep the Adventures Going!

James Marsden's Perspective

In his role as Tom Wachowski, James Marsden has witnessed the growth and success of the Sonic movies. He believes that the love and support of the fans are the driving force behind the continuation of these films. "The fans have been amazing," he says. "They've embraced Sonic and the story we've been telling. It's a privilege to be a part of something that means so much to so many people. If they keep asking for more, we'll do our best to deliver." Marsden's enthusiasm for the franchise is evident, and he hopes that the audience will continue to show their support.

Sonic Voice Actor Ben Schwartz's Take

Ben Schwartz, the voice of Sonic, is equally excited about the potential for more movies. "Are you crazy? We better do a thousand of these," he exclaims. Schwartz's passion for the character is palpable, and he believes that there is still so much more that can be explored with Sonic. "Sonic is a timeless character with a lot of potential," he says. "We've only scratched the surface of what he can do on the big screen. There are so many stories to tell and adventures to have."

Director Jeff Fowler's Philosophy

Director Jeff Fowler takes a more cautious approach, focusing on the present rather than looking too far ahead. "I always take them one movie at a time," he says. "Each movie is a unique experience, and we want to make sure that we give it our all. But then that end credits scene is always a highlight. It's a tease of what's coming up next, and it gets me excited about where things could go from here." Fowler's philosophy is to stay focused on the current project while also keeping an eye on the future.Sonic 3, starring Ben Schwartz, Keanu Reeves, Jim Carrey, Idris Elba, James Marsden, Krysten Ritter, Tika Sumpter, and Colleen O'Shaughnessey, is hitting cinemas on December 20 in the US and December 21 in the UK. It's sure to be a treat for fans of the franchise, and with the possibility of more movies on the horizon, the adventures of Sonic are far from over.For more, check out our ranking of the best Sonic games and our interview with Jeff Fowler as the director discusses how Keanu Reeves nailed the most important part of playing Shadow: the Ultimate Life Form's relationship with Maria.
