Get ready to run—again. Paramount Pictures has just dropped the first official trailer for Sonic The Hedgehog 4 (2026), the highly anticipated fourth installment in the beloved video game film franchise. With Ben Schwartz returning as the voice of Sonic and new surprises along the way, this chapter promises to be the most ambitious yet.
Titled Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Chaos Re𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧, the film picks up after the climactic events of Sonic 3, with Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles adjusting to their new role as Earth’s guardians—until an ancient power long buried within the Chaos Emeralds begins to awaken.
The trailer wastes no time launching into high-speed action: Sonic blazing through dimensional rifts, aerial battles across floating islands, and the shocking return of Jim Carrey as a resurrected and even more unhinged Dr. Robotnik—this time wielding chaos-powered tech from another realm.
Joining the voice cast is:
-
Anya Taylor-Joy as the mysterious Blaze the Cat, a guardian from an alternate dimension
-
Jack Black voicing a chaotic new villain named Void, 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 from corrupted Emerald energy
-
Idris Elba returns as Knuckles, with more emotional depth and screen time than ever before
Visually, the film pushes the franchise to new heights, combining hyper-speed CGI, neon-drenched worlds, and a darker tone balanced by Sonic’s trademark humor.
The trailer ends with a dramatic cliffhanger: a glimpse of Super Sonic facing off against an unknown armored figure—sparking theories about Shadow’s possible return or even the long-awaited debut of Silver.
Fans erupted online moments after the trailer dropped, sending hashtags like #Sonic4, #ChaosRe𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧, and #BlazeTheCat soaring to the top of Twitter/X and TikTok.
Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Chaos Re𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 is set to premiere globally in April 2026, with an IMAX release and tie-in game confirmed for late next year.
He’s faster. The stakes are higher. And the multiverse is spinning out of control. 💥🌀💙
