Paramount Pictures unveiled the highly anticipated trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 on Tuesday, giving fans a first look at the epic showdown between the beloved blue hedgehog and his formidable new adversary, Shadow the Hedgehog, voiced by Keanu Reeves.
In the third installment of the popular film franchise based on the Sega video games, Sonic teams up with his trusty friends Knuckles and Tails to face off against Shadow, a mysterious villain with unparalleled powers. As their abilities are outmatched, Team Sonic must forge an unlikely alliance to protect the planet from impending danger.
Shadow, a creation of Professor Gerald Robotnik, the grandfather of Sonic’s arch-nemesis, Dr. Robotnik, is a character known for his extraordinary speed and ability to manipulate space and time. While initially depicted as an antagonist, Shadow has evolved in the video games to become a more complex figure, sometimes even an ally.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is set to hit theaters on December 20, following the success of its predecessors, which together have grossed over $319 million worldwide. Director Jeff Fowler returns to helm the third film, working from a script by Pat Casey & Josh Miller, and John Whittington, based on a story by Casey & Miller.
Joining the cast for the first time is Krysten Ritter, whose role remains a mystery. Other returning cast members include Natasha Rothwell, Shemar Moore, Tika Sumpter, and Idris Elba. Neal H. Moritz, Toby Ascher, Toru Nakahara, and Hitoshi Okuno produced the film, with Haruki Satomi, Shuji Utsumi, Yukio Sugino, Fowler, Tommy Gormley, and Tim Miller serving as executive producers.
