Sonic the Hedgehog 3 opens in theaters this Friday, but major spoilers may already be circulating online. This stems from an apparent leak of the film's post-credits scene, which was filmed on a mobile phone during the initial screening.
The video and screenshot of the said footage is going viral on social media. If the leak is accurate, it will be Sonic the Hedgehog 3, and whatever films or spin-off shows come next.
A key Sonic 3 scene leaked online days before the premiere
If the leak is correct, it confirms which characters are joining the Sonic movie universe
As spotted by ResetEra user doops, the leaked footage is being shared around on Reddit. It's hard to say where the leak came from, though it's possible that people who attended early screenings for press and influencers filmed the scene on their phones.
Possible spoilers for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 belowNow to get into spoiler territory, the post-credits scene has huge implications for everything that comes after Sonic the Hedgehog 3 . In the scene, we see two new characters from the games join the movie universe: Metal Sonic and Amy Rose. Fans have wanted these two in movies for ages, so this is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
The fact that these two are specifically included in the post-credits scene means that the next film will be based on Sonic CD. This was the first game that either of them appeared in, with Sonic having to save Amy from Metal Sonic. However, given how the scene plays out in the leak, it looks like Amy won't be the damsel in distress this time around, and will be helping Sonic take down the bad guys.
We've also seen the games move away from Amy's old character, where her primary trait was being obsessed with Sonic. We will have to wait and see which version of their relationship we get on the big screen. Or the small screen, of course, if we get another spin-off show.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 hits theaters on December 20th. It will focus on the events of Sonic Adventure 2, introducing Shadow and covering his backstory.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 continues the adventures of Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, and teases the introduction of Shadow the Hedgehog.
