Initially depicted as an antagonist, Shadow's character evolves throughout the games, forming alliances with Sonic and becoming a crucial part of the franchise’s lore. In the new film, his arrival is sure to shake things up, adding a fresh layer of intensity to Sonic’s adventures.

Set to hit theaters on December 20, 2024, the third installment continues the high-energy escapades that started with the first film in 2020. That movie introduced us to Sonic, played by Ben Schwartz, as he teamed up with small-town sheriff Tom, portrayed by James Marsden, to escape the clutches of Dr. Robotnik. The 2022 sequel further expanded the universe with Sonic joining forces with his friend Tails (voiced by Colleen O’Shaughnessey) to thwart Dr. Robotnik and Knuckles (voiced by Idris Elba) from seizing the Chaos Emeralds.
Jeff Fowler, who directed the previous two films, returns to helm this latest entry. Working from a script by Pat Casey, Josh Miller, and John Whittington, Fowler promises another exhilarating ride. The movie's plot details remain under wraps, but fans can expect more of the signature action and humor that defined the franchise's previous hits.
Joining Reeves in the cast is Krysten Ritter, whose role remains a mystery but is anticipated to be pivotal. Natasha Rothwell, Shemar Moore, Tika Sumpter, and Idris Elba are also set to return, adding to the film’s star-studded lineup. The production team includes Neal H. Moritz, Toby Ascher, Toru Nakahara, and Hitoshi Okuno, with executive producers Haruki Satomi, Shuji Utsumi, Yukio Sugino, Jeff Fowler, Tommy Gormley, and Tim Miller overseeing the project.
The first two Sonic films collectively grossed over $319 million worldwide, demonstrating the franchise's global appeal. With Keanu Reeves stepping into the role of Shadow, anticipation for "Sonic the Hedgehog 3" is reaching new heights. Fans and newcomers alike will be eager to see how this latest installment will push the boundaries of Sonic’s universe and deliver another round of thrilling, high-speed action.
As we count down the days to December 20, the trailer's reveal has set the stage for a blockbuster showdown between Sonic and Shadow, ensuring that the Sonic saga continues to race ahead with electrifying momentum.
