Entertainment Weekly has published a fresh new interview with Jeff Fowler, the current director of the Sonic the Hedgehog movies, who has informed the site that Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will continue with tradition and will set the stage for a potential fourth movie by introducing another Sonic character. The first movie introduced Tails and the second introduced Shadow. It seems likely that the third film could introduce Silver, though Fowler would not be drawn into spoiling the surprise.
