Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is being developed as a romantic action comedy, and Paramount is considering a Scarlett Johansson-type for Amy Rose, as per a report. While unconfirmed, speculation follows Sonic 3’s post-credits scene and the Sonic 4 logo’s pink theme.
Sonic 4 to be a romantic action comedy with Amy Rose the Hedgehog
Paramount is reportedly developing Sonic the Hedgehog 4 as an action rom-com, and Amy Rose is said to play a significant role in the movie. A post from MyTimeToShineHello on X (formerly Twitter) stated, “From what I’ve heard, Sonic 4 will play like a romantic action comedy. Think Toy Story 4 or True Lies between Sonic and Amy. Robotnik, of course, will return as well. And they’re considering big names for Amy, a Scarlett Johansson type.”
The speculation gained momentum after Sonic the Hedgehog 3’s post-credits scene, which showed Amy Rose saving Sonic from Metal Sonics. Additionally, the logo of the upcoming installment features ‘4’ in pink, a color closely associated with Amy.
Fans seem to have expressed mixed reactions to the possibility of a romantic focus in Sonic 4. A thread on The Sonic Stadium forum discussed the rumor, with users debating whether the romantic angle is likely. One user stated, “I don’t think Sega wants an actual official couple. They just like the shipteasing.” Another wrote, “I’d love for Sonic and Amy to be officially together in this continuity.”
Director Jeff Fowler indicated Amy Rose and Metal Sonic’s inclusion in the upcoming film. In an interview, he stated, “You don’t want to just throw characters in there and not know what you’re going to do with them… we absolutely have had a lot of really great creative discussions and got excited by some ideas.” However, he did not confirm whether Amy will have a romantic storyline.
