Sonic The Hedgehog 3 Is Going To Be Bananas Says Ben Schwartz
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is getting some early hype-up from the main star of the cinematic franchise, Ben Schwartz, who provides the voice for the titular Blue Blur. The newly released second movie, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, hit the big screen last month and received generally positive reviews from critics and audiences. It also became the highest-grossing movie based on a video game in the United States.

Confined within this laboratory is Shadow the Hedgehog (monikered «Project Shadow» by one of the agents), who is then briefly seen opening his eyes. They glow with a scarlet, raw power and an angry expression before the scene cuts to black.
