A new look at the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3 film from Paramount Pictures was unveiled in a short clip at a CinemaCon keynote Thursday afternoon.
The clip, seen only by the expo attendees, reportedly revealed Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles “Tails” Prower, and Knuckles the Echidna “facing off against Shadow the Hedgehog.” It also featured a scene of the two hedgehogs “fighting in the sky on Shadow’s motorbike.”
It looks like Robotnik unleashes Shadow the Hedgehog in his fight against Sonic. Knuckles says, “he’s far more impressive than the last Hedgehog I faced!” Sonic, “You mean me?!” “Yes.” Also it looks like Robotnik and Sonic begrudgingly team up at some point.

Attendees also saw a glimpse of Doctor Robotnik, played by Jim Carrey. According to reporters, he was seen “in his lab, but he’s gained weight and has been binging ‘carbohydrates’ as he jokes.”
Detailed breakdown
- The footage began with Doctor Robotnik, played by Jim Carrey, in his lab, looking to have gained some weight, and the lab is filled with junk, and jokingly says that he has been binging carbohydrates.
- Agent Stone then appears and presents Robotnik with one of Sonic’s quills before exclaiming that they had found him, referring to Shadow.
- After Robotnik licks the quill, he tweaks out and shouts “Let’s do this!” to Agent Stone, which then goes into a montage of Stone giving Robotnik a haircut, topped off with a big mustache, a bald head, and eyes that appear depraved.
- The footage then cuts to Robotnik and a gang of henchmen armored with laser guns waking up Shadow in a cryotube, in which the latter’s eyes are bursting with red energy.
- It then cuts to a scene where Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are facing off against Shadow at night in the middle of a city street, with Knuckles joking that this hedgehog is stronger than the last one he faced, referring to Sonic.
- The footage then cuts once more to Shadow on his motorcycle in the night sky over some skyscrapers, and then uses the motorcycle to bounce toward Sonic, who is flying upwards at him, and the energy between the two soon clash.
- It then cuts to a scene of Robotnik and Sonic facing away from a ring portal, and while they both look grumpy, the two realize that they have no choice but to work together to defeat Shadow.
To the disappointment of many fans, the Hollywood studio gave no information about the voice actor for Shadow the Hedgehog, or when the teaser will be made to the public.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 was scheduled for a December 2024 release.
