Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will hit theaters on December 20, and now we've just gotten our first good look at it. A nearly three-minute trailer has been released, and much of it focuses on Shadow (and how Sonic will have to team up with Dr. Robotnik).

Shadow is new to Hollywood Sonic films and is voiced by Keanu Reeves.

Ben Schwartz is back as Sonic, as are Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik, Idris Elba as Knuckles and Colleen O'Shaughnessey as Tails. Jeff Fowler, who directed the first two Sonic films, is back in the director's seat for Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

So far Hollywood Sonic the films were successful, with the first alone grossing $ 70,002,074 during its opening weekend. This year also saw the release of Joints spinoff series on Paramount+. Joints similarly broke records in its opening weekend, with Paramount+ executive vice president of programming Jeff Grossman saying, “The Sonic the Hedgehog fans turned out in droves.”

Paramount gave this description for the original Sonic the Hedgehog film:

The world needed a hero, and we got a hedgehog. With incredible speed, Sonic The Hedgehog (voiced by Ben Schwartz), aka The Blue Blur, embraces his new home on Earth. That is, until he accidentally knocks out the power grid and attracts the attention of the super-uncool evil genius Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey). Now it’s supervillain vs. super-Sonic in an all-out race across the globe to stop Robotnik from using Sonic’s unique power to take over the world. Sonic teams up with The Donut Lord, aka Sheriff Tom Wachowski (James Marsden), to save the planet in this live-action adventure comedy that’s fun for the whole family.

There is no official summary of the new film at this time.
