How to watch Sonic the Hedgehog 3 – is it streaming?
The third instalment of the video game adaptation arrived in UK cinemas in December.
Since the first film sped into cinemas in early 2020, the Sonic the Hedgehog movies have become some of the biggest kids films around – and the third entry in the series was another huge hit.
Initially released to relatively middling reviews just before Christmas, the film has now outgrossed both of its predecessors at the global box office, and so there can be no surprise that a fourth film has already been confirmed.
As ever, the film saw Ben Schwartz reprise his role as the voice of the blue speedster and boasted a major new arrival in the form of Keanu Reeves as the voice of Shadow, while Jim Carrey returned in not one but two roles – despite having previously claimed he was considering retiring from acting.
If you've still not seen the film and are wanting to do so from the comfort of your own home – or perhaps have children who are desperate for a rewatch – you might be wondering when the film will be made available for streaming.
If so, read on for everything you need to know about how to watch Sonic the Hedgehog 3.
