The first trailer for the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie has finally arrived, and it reveals a lot about the upcoming film.
The trailer below includes excerpts of dialogue from the new antagonist Shadow, which means we get to briefly hear Keanu Reeves in this role. Keanu Reeves is absolutely in Keanu Reeves mode here, which probably isn't too surprising.
Shadow is too much for Sonic, Tails and Knuckles to handle, so they recruit a former foe named Jim Carrey's Dr. Robotnik to help. Dr. Robotnik seems a little worn out after his exploits in the last two blockbuster films, but he soon rises to the challenge of saving the world on one condition that has not been revealed.
The trailer is full of action, including the inevitable fight between Sonic and Shadow. At one point, we even see Shadow slide Akira's bike.
At the end of the trailer we see a surprise appearance by Dr. Robotnik's father, which even Dr. Robotnik himself is quite surprised to see.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will hit theaters on December 20, 2024.
