Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Trailer Triples the Action and Villains

Keanu Keanu doesn’t make too much noise in his portrayal of Shadow, sounding very much like himself. But given how excited fans were to have him voice Shadow, I think Keanu doing his best Keanu will be a good fit for audiences. The trailer introduces Shadow the hedgehog as the toughest foe Team Sonic has ever faced, forcing them to call in some outside help. Jim Carrey returns as Dr. Robotnik, who has apparently let himself go. Sonic 3They don’t waste a drop of Carrey’s comedic talent, having him play not one but two Robotniks.

Shadow’s arrival was teased at the end of Sonic 2. While we didn’t get to hear it at the time, various outlets later reported that Keanu Reeves had been cast as the gun-toting, black-furred hedgehog with an attitude problem. Yesterday, Paramount began teasing the trailer’s impending arrival by showing footage of Sonic, Shadow, and perennial villain Dr. Robotnik. on buildings all over the world.

Judging by the trailer’s sad narration of Shadow’s life of pain and suffering, Sonic the hedgehog 3 certainly takes its broader plot points from Sonic Adventure 2 — the 2001 game in which Shadow made his first appearance. We also got a glimpse of Maria, the girl Shadow befriends during his time as a lab hedgehog, and it will be interesting to see how the film deals with her fate.

Sonic the hedgehog 3 Chaos hits theaters on December 20.
