While Reeves has been mostly praised for his portrayal of Shadow thus far, a big point of contention surrounding Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is that we’re three movies in and none of the women in the Sonic series have made an appearance yet. There was a lot of speculation ahead of the movie’s proper unveiling that Rouge the Bat, the treasure-hunting spy who works with Shadow in Sonic Adventure 2, may make her live-action debut in the film, but there’s no sign of her in the first trailer. Amy Rose, the hammer-swinging hero who also has a pretty significant role in Sonic Adventure 2, is also nowhere to be seen. Though the movies have been gradually introducing Sonic’s anthropomorphic crew rather than dumping them all into the series at once, the lack of two major players and the obvious gender disparity is bumming fans out. Some are keeping hope alive, however, and theorize Amy may have been edited out of the trailer to surprise fans at a later date.

I'm not mad about Amy and Rouge not being in Sonic 3.
This just focusing on the trio, Eggman, Gerald AND Shadow is good enough for me. pic.twitter.com/eGdDY18xNt

I dunno if it's a hot take but I really hope we DON'T see any other new characters like amy or rouge in Sonic 3.
I feel like tails got shafted in their inclusion for knuckles and Shadow's story will require a lot more focus than even Knuckles got pic.twitter.com/owTzTh8a1m
