Move over MCU, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 tops your post-credits scene

We found out last month Sonic the Hedgehog 3 should have a running time of 109 minutes. This is important to note because to get the most out of the film, you’ll want to sit tight for an hour and 49 minutes, as we’ve just learned that there will be a few surprises for audiences. Colliders Erick Massoto is currently reporting from CCXP in São Paulo, Brazil, where Paramount not only showed off new footage from the film, but also announced that Blue Blur’s third film will reportedly feature several post-credits scenes. This was confirmed by the film’s producers, who said that there were credit sequences until the “last second” of the film’s running time.

Like the last film, we get to know Sonic again (Ben Schwartz) and tails (Colleen O’Shaughnessey) in their “Enemies to Friends” era with Knuckles the Echidna (Idris Elba) as they are forced to face their greatest threat yet in the form of the legendary Shadow the Hedgehog, the Sonic cloning experiment that went its own way, as Fleetwood Mac would say. Shadow is voiced by the legendary action icon Keanu Reeves (best known for the John Wick film series), who was announced as part of the voice cast already in April.

Jeff Fowler returns to the director’s chair once again Sonic the Hedgehog 3. The filmmaker has been involved with the franchise since its inception, even before it happened James Marsden was introduced as the only human willing to help Sonic on his quests, and even then Sonic looked like a cross between the alien descendants of Alien Romulus and a troll. Fowler was also involved in the making of ankle, the Paramount+ spin-off that gave Elba’s Echidna his own adventure on the small screen.

Who is Shadow the Hedgehog and why is he so damn cool?

Shadow the Hedgehog is a long-time fan favorite from the original games and one of the most iconic characters in the game Sonic the Hedgehog Series. He was introduced Sonic Adventure 2 (2001) as an “anti-hero” counterpart to Sonic, created by Dr. Gerald Robotnik – the grandfather of Jim Carrey‘s character. His abilities are similar to Sonic’s, including incredible speed and the use of Chaos Emeralds to manipulate time and space.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 hits theaters on December 20th. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates and coverage of the film and watch the film Sonic the Hedgehog And Sonic the Hedgehog 2now streaming on Paramount+
