Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is a little over a month away. The third live-action movie starring the blue blur will premiere on December 20, and will include the proper debut of Keanu Reeves’ Shadow. But Paramount is apparently thinking ahead, as well. According to director Jeff Fowler, the third film will include a tease of a possible fourth movie, and naturally this has fans wondering which Sonic character might pop up after the credits roll. Whoever comes next will have a tough act to follow, as Shadow’s tease at the end of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was a huge moment for the live-action movies that had fans popping off in the theater. Who do we think is most likely to be burdened with this heavy responsibility? Will it be the next villain, or could it be a new ally for Sonic and his friends? I rounded up characters I think have an actual shot—even a very small one— at showing up at some point in Sonic 3, and am ranking them based on how likely I think they are to be the featured reveal in the big post-credits stinger.
