Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is coming our way oh so soon, and we cannot wait. After the very delightful Knuckles series gave us more information about G.U.N., it is time for the crew to come together and fight against Shadow the Hedgehog. Will Wade Whipple play into the events now that he’s a full-fledged warrior? We will just have to wait and see. What we don’t have to wait and see is a trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 because it is here. In the first official trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Keanu Reeves’ Shadow steals the show by being effortlessly cool. We love an antihero. But Doctor Robotnik also returns… as a friend and ally this time? What a twist. Sonic teams up with the Robotnik, who has been on a bit of a supervillain vacation, to try to stop Shadow. But can this relationship last?
You can watch the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 trailer below.
The synopsis for the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie teases more about what we see in the trailer. It notes:
Sonic the Hedgehog returns to the big screen this holiday season in his most thrilling adventure yet. Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails reunite against a powerful new adversary, Shadow, a mysterious villain with powers unlike anything they have faced before. With their abilities outmatched in every way, Team Sonic must seek out an unlikely alliance in hopes of stopping Shadow and protecting the planet.

As we all remember from the last film, Knuckles, Sonic, and Tails are the new protectors of the Master Emerald. But, we know that G.U.N. is about to release Project Shadow into the world. That, along with Dr. Robotnik’s return, even as a friend, will lead to more chaos. We know our blue speedster and his friends have it under control.

Who Plays Dr. Robotnik’s Father in Sonic the Hedgehog 3?
This Sonic the Hedgehog 3 trailer also makes it a family affair, introducing us to Dr. Robotnik’s father, Gerald Robotnik. It seems that Dr. Robotnik’s father, who also sports a striking mustache, will too be played by Jim Carrey, who plays Dr. Ivo Robotnik himself. A fascinating series of choices that will certainly entertain us.
