The newly released second movie, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, hit the big screen last month and received generally positive reviews from critics and audiences.
It also became the highest-grossing movie based on a video game in the United States.
The next installment of the series is hinted at in the mid-credits scene of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, in which two agents of the Guardian Units of Nations (G.U.N. for short) are seen discussing a 50-year-old file that was uncovered.
This file apparently contains the coordinates to a secret research facility.
Confined within this laboratory is Shadow the Hedgehog (monikered "Project Shadow" by one of the agents), who is then briefly seen opening his eyes.
They glow with a scarlet, raw power and an angry expression before the scene cuts to black.
In an interview with The Playlist, Schwartz gave the smallest tease of the excitement that Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has in store.

He also gave some high praise to Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and touched on how proud he is of the fact that general audiences are enjoying his voice work, which is something he has been doing for 17 years.
