What The Film caught up with Tika Sumpter about her latest film Sonic the Hedgehog 3, out in theaters today. This highly anticipated sequel brings together the next adventure of Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles as they face all new challenges in their race to protect the Chaos Emeralds. Filled with action, humor, and heart, the Sonic franchise has become a worldwide phenomenon for all age groups.

In an interview, Sumpter reflected on the movie’s appeal to the worldwide universal family and the joy it creates. She shared her excitement for what’s in store in this next chapter, promising even higher stakes of adventure and more vibrant storytelling.

Apart from discussing Sonic, Sumpter took a moment to look back at Gossip Girl, the cult classic TV series that keeps its charm alive even years after it originally aired.

As Sonic the Hedgehog 3 readies to be one of the holiday seasons’ must-see films, Sumpter’s reflections put into perspective her dynamic career and the timeless magic of storytelling across generations.
