Sonic the Hedgehog 3 just hinted at an epic crossover that has been desired by many for 26 years. The ending of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 teased another of these major video game moments for fans with the confirmation that Shadow the Hedgehog would appear in the sequel. Now, the story of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is looming closer as the marketing for the film picks up speed.

If Sonic the Hedgehog 3's cast was not exciting enough, primarily thanks to Keanu Reeves as Shadow, the trailer raised anticipation even more. Shadow's inclusion and his scuffles against Team Sonic look epic enough to spawn even more live-action Sonic movies and shows beyond the trilogy. Similarly, the interplay between the characters looks just as hilarious, with a snippet of this in the most recent Sonic the Hedgehog 3 trailer hinting at a crossover 28 years in the making.
