Sonic 3: Keanu Reeves as Shadow and More!

The third live-action Sonic movie is directed by Jeff Fowler, and it features a new trailer filled with action, speed, and special effects, plus the cherry on top, which you already know if you have paid attention to the title of this article 😉

The first Sonic movie, released in 2020, did not start off well due to the controversial and criticized initial design of the blue hedgehog that Paramount presented to the public. Following a series of complaints and poor reviews, the company decided to redesign the character to avoid a box office disaster, and the result could not have been better. That Jeff Fowler film grossed over 300 million dollars, quickly laying the groundwork for a very fast sequel, which arrived in 2022, garnering just over 400 million. The sequel turned Sega‘s mascot into a pillar for Paramount, giving it a tone and focus similar to the superhero genre. Now, Sonic 3 presents its new trailer loaded with vibrant action and many surprises.

Fowler returns behind the camera, taking the director’s chair to compose the Sonic trilogy. In this installment, Sega‘s blue hedgehog must join forces with Tails and Knuckles to face a new and dangerous threat: Shadow, the antagonist played by none other than our beloved Keanu Reeves!… Such is the power of this creature that the protagonists have no choice but to turn to the dangerous Dr. Robotnik, played by Jim Carrey, but as always, things will end up twisting. It’s a pleasure to reunite with the star of Liar Liar, considering he was planning his retirement when Sonic 2 was released in theaters. Paramount has managed to convince the artist to return to his character, and to also play his father, which can only mean good news, right?

Sonic the Hedgehog 1 & 2

The first Sonic the Hedgehog movie premiered in 2020, as mentioned earlier, and was directed by Jeff Fowler. Ben Schwartz lent his voice to the character of Sonic, with James Marsden playing Sheriff Tom Wachowski and Jim Carrey in the role of the villain Dr. Robotnik. The plot revolves around Sonic, an anthropomorphic blue hedgehog with superhuman abilities, who allies with the sheriff of a small town to stop the evil scientist Dr. Robotnik, who seeks to exploit Sonic‘s abilities to dominate the world. The movie received mixed reviews but was a commercial success, grossing $319 million worldwide.

The sequel, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, was released in 2022. It continues Sonic‘s adventures on Earth, introducing new characters from the Sonic universe, including Tails and Knuckles. In this continuation, Sonic and Tails embark on a mission to stop Dr. Robotnik and Knuckles in their attempt to seize a powerful emerald that has the potential to build and destroy civilizations. The sequel sought to build on the success of the first film, expanding Sonic‘s universe and characters on the big screen, and far surpassing its predecessor by reaching a gross of $405 million.

I think we all have it clear that, whether we are fans of the blue hedgehog or not, this is one of those movies that we are definitely going to see, right? Regardless of our personal tastes, we all understand that Sonic is an icon of the video game world, and this new movie aims to portray an even more dynamic and extreme version in every sense than the previous installments, not to mention the high-caliber presences, both from before and the new staff members. From our point of view, it has everything it needs to be a complete success. And now, how about you head to the comments and let us know your opinion about this news?
