Meet the New Faces in Sonic the Hedgehog 3's Post-Credits Scene

Sonic the Hedgehog 3's post-credits scene introduced two exciting new characters: Shadow the Hedgehog and Metal Sonic. Director Jeff Fowler shared that these characters were chosen to shake things up in the franchise. Shadow, voiced by Keanu Reeves, is a beloved anti-hero from the games. Metal Sonic, a robotic doppelgänger of Sonic, has been teased for a long time. Fowler explained that they want to keep the story exciting and fun for both the audience and the crew. Amy Rose also made a debut in the post-credits scene, rescuing Sonic from Metal Sonics. Her involvement could add a new dynamic to the story, as she has a passionate crush on Sonic in the games. This could bring a fun element to the movies that fans have been waiting for. The choice of these characters isn't random. They were selected to bring something new and interesting to the story. Fowler mentioned that they wouldn't introduce characters without having a clear idea of where their story could go. The future of the franchise looks promising. Past games like Sonic CD and Sonic Heroes could provide inspiration for future movies. Shadow could be an ally to Sonic and Amy against Metal Sonic, as he was in Sonic Heroes.
