Warning: The following features contain spoilers for Sonic the hedgehog 3…
The writers of Sonic 3 have named their dream newcomers for future movies and, yes, one of the choices is Big the Cat.
“We've put a lot of thought into a lot of these characters, the ones that haven't shown up, they may not show up,” Pat Casey told GamesRadar+. “And, you know, it's like how do we do Silver? Well, how do we do Big the Cat? That's the really important thing. But that's for the future and we'll see.”
Josh Miller says, “But which character would I love to see? My joking response is that it's probably not a joke…at some point, we'll have to include Big the Cat somehow. I like the idea of imagining which character I'd love to see.” It looks like it was rendered in the style of the Sonic movies.”
Casey adds, “I mean, I feel like Rouge the Bat would be a great movie character. It's a very classic archetype, but we'll see.”
For some, Big the Cat is largely seen as a big, cute, fun figure in the Sonic universe. Big (and his best friend Froggy), a giant purple cat who loves to fish, were introduced in Sonic Adventure.
Meanwhile, Rouge is a skilled thief who debuted in Sonic Adventure 2, the same game that introduced the world to Shadow the Hedgehog.
It remains to be seen if any of the members of the Sonic universe appear in the newly announced Sonic 4. Sonic 3's post-credits scene has apparently already filled the series with more newcomers in the form of Metal Sonic and Sonic's ally Amy Rose. for a long time. But we better have our fishing rods handy. Just in case.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is now available in theaters around the world. For more information, check out our guide to Sonic 3 Easter eggs you may have missed, as well as our Sonic 3 ending breakdown.
