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.

Shadow the Hedgehog is one of the most iconic characters in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He was introduced in Sonic Adventure 2 (2001) as an “anti-hero” counterpart to Sonic, created by Dr. Gerald Robotnik, the grandfather of Jim Carrey 's character.

Sonic 3 will continue the tradition of teasing new characters for future films, which could suggest Metal Sonic, Amy, Rouge, or Silver.

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.
