Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will hit theaters on December 20, and now we just received our first good look at it. A trailer that’s almost three minutes long has dropped, and a lot of it concentrates on Shadow (and how Sonic is going to have to team up with Dr. Robotnik).
Shadow is new to the Hollywood Sonic movies, and is voiced by Keanu Reeves.
Ben Schwartz is back as Sonic, as is Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik, Idris Elba as Knuckles, and Colleen O’Shaughnessey as Tails. Jeff Fowler, who directed the first two Sonic movies, is back in the director’s seat for Sonic the Hedgehog 3.
So far the Hollywood Sonic movies have been quite successful, with the first one alone raking in $70,002,074 during its opening weekend. This year also saw the release of the Knuckles spinoff series on Paramount +. Knuckles likewise broke records on its opening weekend, with Paramount+’s Executive Vice President of Programming Jeff Grossman saying, “The Sonic the Hedgehog fans came out in full-force.”
Paramount gave this description for the original Sonic the Hedgehog movie:
The world needed a hero, we got a hedgehog. Powered with incredible speed, Sonic The Hedgehog (voiced by Ben Schwartz), aka The Blue Blur, embraces his new home on Earth. That is, until he accidentally knocks out the power grid and sparks the attention of super-uncool evil genius Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey). Now it’s super-villain vs. super-sonic in an all-out race across the globe to stop Robotnik from using Sonic’s unique power for world domination. Sonic teams up with The Donut Lord, aka Sheriff Tom Wachowski (James Marsden), to save the planet in this live-action adventure comedy that’s fun for the whole family.
At this point there is not an official summary for the new movie.
