Sonic Cinematic Universe (the live-action movies)

We were only taking baby steps into the franchise with the second Sonic movie in 2022, but with Sonic 3 coming out, we're expecting the Shadow, Amy, Rouge, Space Colony ARK, Black Doom, the Chaotix (who are canon in the prequel comic of Sonic the Hedgehog 2), even Silver! But who voices them, who shows up first, what happens with them, when they appear, why they are important to the plot, and how they meet Sonic and his friends are all a mystery as Jeff Fowler, director of these movies, walks us through this new and exciting new universe of Sonic. So please, put down below you answer to these questions:

-Who can we expect?

-Who do we think could voice those characters?

-What clever way could anyone meet Sonic and his friends?

-What situations must Sonic go through that happens with them?

-When do these characters appear in the franchise (e.g. cameos, movies, or series)

-Why are they important?

1. Right now, we can expect Shadow, Amy, and maybe Rouge or Metal Sonic.

2. "WHOA" as Shadow confirmed. Anyone who's not in the Mario Movie can play a Sonic character.

3. Rouge would steal the Master Emerald off of Knuckles' spot. Amy would fall in love with Sonic at first glance because she's young and full of spirit, Team Chaotix could just be in their office being themselves interacting off each other, and Silver could be in the background saying "I finally found him, The Iblis Trigger."

4. To say they're important right now is gonna take alot of time. Right now we have to take a back seat to Wade Whipple in the human world and "LAUGH".

There have been unconfirmed rumors of Metal Sonic and Amy being in the fourth Sonic movie, most likely going to come out in 2026. But there's something that concerns me: some people think Robotnik is going to stay good after Sonic 3. But how could he make Metal Sonic if he's good? In fact, here's a theory someone made, which I wholeheartedly agree with: do you remember in the Sonic 3 trailer where Robotnik only joins Sonic's team just because he can get one of his quills? Well, he might have lost the first one he had for the past two movies, and needed a new one to work on a new project. That new project being Metal Sonic. So, do any of you believe Robotnik would be a saint after Sonic 3, or is it going to be inevitable and Eggman is still going to be bad, as he always will be in the franchise? Honestly, I think he's going to be the bad guy again in Sonic 4, otherwise Metal Sonic will never exist.
