Sonic The Hedgehog 3 Trailer Debuts Keanu Reeves' Shadow The Hedgehog, And I'm Sold

As a seasoned gamer with memories of spinning cartridges and battling through levels on the original Sega Genesis, I can confidently say that the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie has me more hyped than ever before! The inclusion of Keanu Reeves as Shadow is a dream come true for fans like myself who grew up watching him in the Matrix trilogy.


doesn’t it seem like a significant chunk of the upcoming 2024 movie lineup has gone by unnoticed? And when you think all the major thrills for this year have been wrapped up, more big blockbusters suddenly appear on the horizon. The first trailer for “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” is one such surprise, and as today’s footage reveals, we get our first glimpse of Keanu Reeves portraying Shadow in an epic scene.

All information about Sonic 3 seems to be building towards the arrival of a fan-adored villain, and with Keanu Reeves portraying Shadow the Hedgehog, it feels like a long-held wish has finally come true for dedicated Sonic fans. Instead of keeping him hidden, we’re treated to ample footage of Shadow in action, and John Wick’s impeccable voice acting perfectly brings the character to life.

Indeed, this isn’t “Shadow the Hedgehog 3,” and it remains Sonic who takes center stage. Yet again, Ben Schwartz lends his voice to our speedy protagonist, accompanied by Tails and Knuckles, who appear to have earned their hero status. The story unfolds when Shadow breaks free and creates havoc, but it seems the new antagonist has them at a significant disadvantage due to their overwhelming power.

Ever since the conclusion of “Sonic the Hedgehog 2” in 2022, it’s been a challenging period with Shadow being introduced into the mix. And as Sonic franchise producer Toby Ascher has hinted, “Sonic Adventure 2” seems to be serving as the primary influence for “Sonic 3,” suggesting that things might take a grim turn in this high-speed action-adventure series. We’ve caught glimpses of Shadow’s troubled past, which ultimately paved the way for his villainous actions.

Instead of just another satisfying chili dog for the gamer, they might also enjoy a delightful mix of Bruno Mars dance battles and Jim Carrey’s comedic brilliance. The level of Shadow’s backstory exploration is up to them, but even from the glimpses we see in the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 trailer, it seems like things could get quite intense or ominous.

To put it simply, fans will undoubtedly be excited about whatever new content is coming for Sonic, especially since the plot now involves Sonic and Eggman teaming up to save the world from Shadow. Plus, there’s even going to be Papa Eggman in the mix! And let me tell you, having double the Jim Carrey in a Sonic movie definitely appeals to me on a personal level.

As we eagerly anticipate the launch of “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” on December 20th, take advantage of this waiting period by catching up on some existing Sonic adventures! With a Paramount+ subscription, you can stream the first “Sonic” film and the entire new “Knuckles” series, featuring Idris Elba. Time flies, so don’t dawdle – December will be upon us sooner than expected! In the meantime, take note of the movie release dates for 2025 to plan your cinema visits next year. All we can do is wait and discover what’s in store for the video game movie universe!
