SEGA's iconic blue hedgehog, Sonic, returns to the big screen in the latest installment of the Sonic the Hedgehog film series, Sonic × Shadow TOKYO MISSION (Sonic The Hedgehog 3). Set to release on December 27 in Japan, the new movie promises to deliver thrilling action in the heart of Tokyo's bustling Shibuya district.

In a set of newly released stills, the focus is on Shadow, Sonic’s darker counterpart, as he strikes a powerful pose amid the glowing city streets of Shibuya. His intense gaze and the mysterious aura surrounding him raise questions—what emotions lie behind those shadowed eyes?

Following the intense battles from the previous film, Sonic, along with his trusted allies Tails and Knuckles, known as Team Sonic, appear stronger than ever. Their determined expressions reflect the deep bond they now share, and fans can expect even more heart-pounding action from the trio. Meanwhile, scenes with Sonic’s adopted family, Sheriff Tom—whom Sonic affectionately calls the “Donut Lord”—and his wife Maddie, capture a heartwarming glimpse into Sonic’s life in Green Hills.

The movie also introduces a new female character, seen standing solemnly in one of the stills. Her role remains a mystery—will she be a friend guiding Sonic to victory or a new enemy complicating his mission?

Another exciting reveal is a surprising team-up between Sonic and his longtime nemesis, the evil genius Dr. Robotnik, played once again by Jim Carrey. In this film, Carrey will portray not only Robotnik but also a mysterious elderly man, referred to as Robotnik’s “grandfather.” The dynamic between these two characters—both played by Carrey—adds an extra layer of intrigue. What role will this eccentric grandfather play in the unfolding story?
