A new must see trailer for “Sonic the Hedgehog 3,” dropped today and it looks explosively fast and filled with all those must-love Sonic moments. Directed by Jeff Fowler and distributed by Paramount Pictures, this is the third movie in a series of live-action adaptations of the video game franchise created by Sega. The previous films have focused on Sonic and his friends, like Knuckles, but this time, all eyes are on Sonic’s rival, Shadow, who will be voiced by Keanu Reeves.

The latest sneak peek at the eagerly awaited Sonic movie threequel has dropped some serious hype, showing off a ton of exciting stuff! We got a peek at the Chao Garden, which looks like it stepped straight out of a Chuck E. Cheese, plus more wild antics from Jim Carrey’s Dr. Robotnik. But the real showstopper? Sonic fans on social media are losing it over the fact that Shadow has a gun!
That’s right—SHADOW WITH A GUN. Forget everything else; this is the moment that has everyone buzzing!
In between the thrilling Sonic versus Shadow action scenes, we catch a quick glimpse of Shadow—voiced by the one and only Keanu Reeves—armed and ready to go. While Shadow has had his share of firepower in the past (shoutout to his 2005 game, Shadow the Hedgehog), seeing this in the Paramount film series was definitely not on fans’ bingo cards!

Plus, it shows that the filmmakers are not afraid to push the boundaries and bring some of the edgier elements from the games to the big screen. It’s bound to spark some fun conversations among fans!
