Shadow the Hedgehog and Gerald Robotnik take center stage in a brand-new poster for Paramount's upcoming Sonic sequel.

The Sonic the Hedgehog franchise does weird things with its own canon. While it's not fair to describe every entry as a reboot, a lot of the games feel as if they choose to ignore the previous entries.

With over a month left until Sonic the Hedgehog 3's release, the film's length compared to past entries in the franchise has been revealed.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 just released its runtime, leaving many worried about whether the movie will have time to introduce its most exciting addition.

Since Shadow was introduced in Sonic Adventure 2 in 2001, his edginess has been on display in this franchise, especially after his game was released. Shadow has often been a controversial character in the eyes of gamers, with some finding his creation a little cringy and desperate in a bid to keep the franchise relevant.
