The third feature film in Paramount Pictures’ series releases on December 20th in theaters and stars Keanu Reeves as Shadow.

Paramount Pictures’ Sonic the Hedgehog 3, the latest in its film franchise (which is unfortunately not based on the video game), has received a new trailer. Along with offering more Shadow the Hedgehog, voiced by Keanu Reeves, it provides more insight into what Dr. Eggman and Professor Gerald Robotnik are planning.

Sonic, Knuckles and Tails work together stop them but must eventually seek help from recurring humans Tom and Maddie. Space Colony ARK (at least, what seems to be the station from Sonic Adventure 2) and its giant laser make an impact, and Shadow finally gets to wield a gun.

How the team will ultimately best Shadow and stop his plan remains to be seen, but there are plenty of intense fights and set pieces to look forward to. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 releases in theaters on December 20th.
