What This Poster Says About Sonic The Hedgehog 3
Sonic The Hedgehog 3 Will Focus Heavily On Shadow
This poster forSonic the Hedgehogis a great way to hype up the introduction of Shadow toSonic the Hedgehog 3. While he will be featured more in the upcoming film,Shadow appeared inSonic the Hedgehog 2. The character was introduced during amid-credits scene inSonic the Hedgehog 2, but he did not have any dialogue. This allowedSonic the Hedgehog 3to delay the casting announcement for Shadow, who was later revealed to be Reeves.
Though Reeves will be in the film, he will be fully voice acting forSonic the Hedgehog 3. Like its predecessors, the film is a live-action and animated film hybrid, which puts select animated characters in an otherwise live-action world. Shadow will be one of the characters that will be fully animated, adding to the cast of characters in the upcoming film.

Since then, Paramount+ released the limited seriesKnuckles, which followed the adventures of Knuckles the Echidna.Knuckleshad a record-breaking run on the platform, gaining critical success and massive reviews.
