‘Sonic the Hedgehog 3’ trailer promises triple the fun and thrill
On Monday, November 25, Paramount Pictures dropped the second trailer for 'Sonic the Hedgehog 3' and it's everything we hoped for and more! The upcoming film is the third installment of Jeff Fowler's adaptation of the popular video game series by Sega.
The new trailer offered a glimpse into some jaw-dropping visuals and heart-pounding chases. It shows Sonic and friends teaming up with Robotnik, but it’s not what it seems. Instead, Robotnik and Shadow appear to be joining forces in a world-domination plot. You'll also spot some Easter eggs, like nods to the Shadow the Hedgehog video game, including Shadow wielding weapons.
