Sonic The Hedgehog 3 Trailer Showcases Shadow's Immense Power

As a gamer with over two decades of Sonic under my belt, I can say that the new trailer for “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” has me buzzing faster than a Super Sonic! After two movies with Dr. Robotnik as the main antagonist, it’s refreshing to see a fresh rivalry brewing between Sonic and Shadow the Hedgehog. The blend of black and blue moving at high speed is enough to give any old-school gamer a nostalgic kick!


The upcoming trailer for “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” signals that the struggle between good and evil is about to become thorny. Known for his quick wit and speed, Sonic (voiced by Ben Schwartz), whose feet remain a mystery for now (I’ll admit, it feels odd), is back in action in the franchise. In this installment, there’s a chance that Sonic might find himself trailing behind an age-old adversary from “Sonic” mythology – Shadow the Hedgehog (portrayed by Keanu Reeves).

In the concluding scenes of “Sonic the Hedgehog 2,” it is teased that Shadow will make his appearance in the third movie, offering a new dimension instead of Dr. Robotnik (portrayed by Jim Carrey). However, this does not imply that there won’t be any presence of Dr. Robotnik in the upcoming film. Although Jim Carrey has suggested retirement from acting, he appears significantly in the trailer as Sonic and his companions opt to join forces with their longstanding adversary to defeat Shadow.

As a die-hard fan, it feels like a clever move to introduce a new rival for Sonic in the third movie, keeping the storyline fresh and exciting. The sneak peek of the film shows a dynamic mix of black and blue, hinting at the speedy presence of Tales (Colleen O’Shaughnessey), Knuckles (Idris Elba), and their human companion, Tom (James Marsden). Could this be Sonic’s most challenging encounter to date? Will Shadow finally decide to fight for good, and how does it all tie into the latest installment of the “Sonic” universe and its upcoming events? Catch the trailer to uncover the answers.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will take the franchise down new roads

In the recently released trailer for the upcoming movie, there may be a sense of tension, but it’s important to remember that in the lore of the video game series, Shadow has previously teamed up with Sonic and his friends, though his cooperation was initially reluctant. This mirrors Knuckles the Echidna’s (played by Idris Elba) journey in the first film, where he eventually corrected his mistakes and allied with Sonic in the second movie. Since then, Knuckles has branched out into his own spin-off series on Paramount+, indicating that the “Sonic” universe continues to expand. However, the success of this third installment will play a crucial role in determining the future growth of the franchise.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but speculate that despite Sonic and Shadow parting ways less than amicably in the third movie, Shadow could very well be embarking on his own journey, spinning off into his unique narrative. It’s going to be thrilling to witness the escalation when “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” hits theaters on December 20, 2024!
