Character posters de ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 3’

Paramount Pictures is spoiling the audience by revealing this morning a handful of character posters for the long-awaited sequel Sonic the Hedgehog 3 of the director Jeff Fowler (director of the two previous installments).

The posters show individual glimpses of each of the main characters in this third installment of the saga. Sonic the Hedgehog, which in addition to the return of familiar faces, will present Shadow, a video game character who is making his arrival to the film franchise.

To have a little context, we tell you that Shadow is one of Sonic's enemies, considered in many ways the anti-Sonic.

It was created by Dr. Gerald Robotnik, grandfather of Dr. Ivo Robotnik (Jim Carrey). He was genetically modified with alien DNA, a speedster with teleportation powers. Shadow debuted in Sonic Adventure 2 2001. For his film debut, his voice will be provided by Keanu Reeves.

Robotnik is not in his best shape when we see him make his return in Sonic 3However, you will have company. Carrey plays a double role, as he not only reprises his role as Dr. Ivo Robotnik, but also plays Ivo's grandfather and creator of Shadow, Dr. Gerald Robotnik, whose physical appearance was achieved through prosthetics and costumes. .

The character posters are available at the end of this note.
