Summary
- Sonic the Hedgehog 3’s post-credit scene has seemingly leaked online.

- The leak comes days before the film hits theatres on December 20.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 opens in cinemas this Friday, but major spoilers may already be circulating online. This stems from an apparent leak of the film’s post-credit scene, which was seemingly filmed on a mobile phone at an early showing.
The video and screenshots from the footage are circulating on social media. If the leak is accurate, then it’s a major spoiler for both Sonic the Hedgehog 3, and whatever films or spin-off shows come next.
Major Sonic 3 Scene Leaks Online Days Before The Premiere
If the leak is accurate, it confirms which characters are joining the Sonic movie universe next
As spotted by ResetEra user doops, the leaked footage is being shared around on Reddit. It’s hard to say where the leak comes from, although it’s possible that someone who attended the early screenings for press and influencers filmed the scene on their phone.
Potential spoilers for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 belowTo get into spoiler territory now, the post-credit scene has huge implications for whatever 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 the films for ages, so this is bound to be a crowd-pleaser.
These two specifically being included in the post-credit scene might mean that the next film will be loosely 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 a damsel in distress this time around, and will help Sonic take the bad guys down.
We’ve also seen the games move away from Amy’s old characterisation, where her primary trait was being obsessed with Sonic. We’ll have to wait and see what 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 theatres on December 20. 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.
