Relevant entries in EIDR suggest that Sonic the Hedgehog 4 may have a runtime of around two hours. This information has not yet been officially confirmed by the studio and should not be considered the finalized runtime. The entry lists an "approximate duration" of PT2H0M (120 minutes). The record was created on July 15, 2026, updated the following day, and attracted little attention in the months since.
Sonic the Hedgehog 4 had previously announced and confirmed its release date, with further updates on the start of filming. The recent runtime information comes from a database entry, and its exact minute count, registration status, and whether it cites official studio statements remain to be verified. The "approximate duration" used by EIDR is merely a rough reference value for identifying audiovisual works and may not match the actual runtime of the final cut. For instance, the Knuckles series was registered in EIDR with an approximate duration of one hour per episode, while the actual broadcast length ranged from 23 to 33 minutes, highlighting the indicative nature of such database figures.
Paramount has not yet announced the official runtime for Sonic the Hedgehog 4. The film is scheduled for release in North America on March 19, 2027, with Jeff Fowler returning as director and original cast members such as James Marsden and Jim Carrey reprising their roles. If the two-hour figure proves accurate, it will become the second-longest entry in the series, surpassed only by Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
