Summary
- Agent Stone is proving to be incredibly popular once again, following his appearance in Sonic the Hedgehog 3.
- Now, fans want Stone to be included in the games, giving Eggman a human sidekick.
- They also want Lee Majdoub to continue playing the character.
The Sonic films have only ever been loosely based on the films, mostly doing their own thing within their own continuity. As such, a lot of the characters we meet were created for the films, including most of the humans.
If there’s one original creation that’s proven to be a hit with the community, it’s Agent Stone. With each instalment, fans have only grown to love him more, and the sidekick stole the show in Sonic the Hedgehog 3. In fact, he’s so popular that many are hoping that he won’t be a movie-exclusive character forever.
Sonic Fans Really Like Agent Stone
After Sonic 3, fans want Agent Stone to be a character in the games too
Twitter user @saltyfrgnwater brought up the idea after the film premiere, and a whole lot of other fans are in agreement.
“Praying they put Stone in the games, it’s all I want,” says @BangtanCrafts.
“Agent Stone with Orbot and Cubot AND Sage…it’s perfect…he will officially be Dad number 2,” replies @sonicx246.
Indeed, with Sage in the games, adding Stone could give Team Eggman a family dynamic, rivalling Sonic and pals. I mean, Stone and Eggman are basically together anyway, so they should absolutely adopt several children together.
That’s not just me saying that. There are a lot of fans who love seeing these two together, even creating fanfiction and fan art of the pair. Stone’s actor, Lee Majdoub, told us back in 2022 that he’s well aware of this – and loves it. So, we have his stamp of approval there.
Speaking of Majdoub, fans are also instant that if Stone appears in the games, he has to be played by his original actor. “Lee is the only person who should play Stone, if Lee ever leaves Stone also leaves,” adds @saltyfrgnwater.
In any case, we should at least see more of Stone in the movies. Sonic the Hedgehog 4 has already been confirmed, releasing sometime in 2027.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 continues the adventures of Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, and teases the introduction of Shadow the Hedgehog.
