What’s funny about the clip above – other than our heroes discovering there’s a new boss-level threat in the city – is that… Sonic the Hedgehogthere’s actually a reference to Keanu Reeves when Sonic watches Kathryn Bigelow’s movie Break point As does Donut Lord (James Marsden), an outsider from before they became a franchise family. So it’s really fun to see Sonic fight the voice of one of his heroes. Plus, there should be a meta confession in the next movie. And just like A Sonic As a fan, who last played the Dreamcast era of games that included Shadow’s story, it’s amazing to see it all come to life on screen.

Yes, that’s right, they’re related to Eggman (Jim Carrey); He’s back as the franchise’s arch-nemesis, whom Team Sonic finds themselves needing to recruit in order to stop his grandfather Gerald (also played by Carrey) and Shadow’s undoubtedly nefarious plans.
