In a very Shadow filled week, the Paramount Pictures and Sonic movie social media accounts have shared an official look at the logo for the upcoming third Sonic film, which will fittingly be titled Sonic the Hedgehog 3. In addition to the logo reveal, which was accompanied by an orchestration of Sonic Adventure 2‘s “Live and Learn”, Variety broke the news that Jim Carrey is returning as Doctor “Eggman” Robotnik. Carrey’s involvement was up in the air after the actor alluded to retiring from acting, though he did say he was not fully retiring. Clearly the Sonic movies are a good time for Jim, which explains his returning to the role.
What is still up in the air is who is going to voice Shadow the Hedgehog. A popular rumor on the socials is that Star Wars actor Hayden Christensen is taking on the role. Some social media users, myself included, incorrectly heard the laugh in the teaser as Shadow’s voice actor, when in fact it was Robotnik. We still don’t know who is voicing Shadow, but the reveal should be soon as Idris Elba revealed his casting nine months before the sequel released. With the third film set for December, here’s hoping Shadow’s actor is revealed within the next few months.

They were already low for Sonic 2 considering his dislike of reprising roles and being in sequels. It’s low but not necessarily out of the question. Maybe a teaser at the credits. i can’t see him being the villain again in 3
