Ben Schwartz Hints at Movie Crossovers

The success of video game adaptations continues with 'Sonic the Hedgehog 3,' which is projected to dominate the box office with earnings between $70 to $85 million. Ben Schwartz, the voice of Sonic, expressed enthusiasm for a potential crossover film featuring both Sonic and Mario, suggesting that a 'Super Smash Bros.' movie could be a thrilling addition to the franchise, although it would require collaboration among multiple studios. Schwartz praised Chris Pratt's portrayal of Mario and highlighted the increasing likelihood of such a project, especially after the success of films like 'Detective Pikachu.' While focused on expanding the Sonic franchise, Schwartz humorously mentioned his desire for numerous sequels, envisioning Sonic aging and facing new, relatable challenges. The film 'Sonic 3' stars Keanu Reeves as Shadow and is expected to lead into a fourth installment in 2027, ensuring the franchise remains vibrant and evolving.
