Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (2027)

In a candid interview with ScreenRant, Emmy‑winner Shemar Moore revealed he’s still waiting on a call to reprise his role as Randall in Sonic the Hedgehog 4. The actor, who first appeared as the undercover G.U.N. agent in Sonic 2, says his three‑year‑old daughter Frankie is the biggest fan of his Sonic cameo, and she’s eager to see him back on screen for the March 19, 2027 sequel. Moore credits producer Neal H. Moritz – the same producer behind the Sonic franchise and the S.W.A.T. series – for getting him on board for the second and third movies, and he’s hopeful Moritz will “catch some smoke” if he doesn’t secure Moore’s return for the fourth installment. While the live‑action portion of Sonic 4 wrapped between March and May of this year, the star admits he hasn’t received an official invitation yet, noting his recent commitments to the new S.W.A.T. Exiles series could affect his availability. The upcoming film promises to reunite Ben Schwartz as Sonic, Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik, and Idris Elba as Knuckles, with Kristen Bell joining the cast as Amy Rose. As G.U.N. remains a key element of the Sonic universe, there’s still plenty of narrative room for Randall and his love interest Rachel, played by Natasha Rothwell, to reappear – but for now, fans will have to wait and see if Moore’s “voiceovers and the like” will finally make the cut. If you’re curious about Moore’s past Sonic antics or his recent S.W.A.T. Exiles updates, ScreenRant has a suite of related coverage, from why he almost missed the CBS reboot to his thoughts on the series’ evolving formula.
