The theories
The jokes are all well and good, but fans are looking for any clue about what’s coming from the trailer, and some theories seem pretty plausible. One scene shows Sonic giving Jim Carrey’s Doctor Robotnik one of his superpowered quills, and fans are already speculating this could be used to create his synthetic doppelganger Metal Sonic. While that’s a fun theory, there are also less fun ones sprouting up around possible death flags. One scene shows James Marsden’s Tom Wachowski, the human lead of the live-action movies, shouting for Sonic during what appears to be one of Shadow’s rampages. These movies haven’t shied away from death, as Sonic, Knuckles, and Shadow each have tragic backstories, but this might be the first time the movies kill off a main character. If Tom kicks the bucket, it would be thematically in-line with the topics of grief the movie is wrestling with.

One of the most surprisingly shocking shots of the trailer for me was this. Could Tom get """"killed"""" by Shadow, further pushing Sonic into a rageful vengeance mirroring Shadow's? https://t.co/G4p3nluIad pic.twitter.com/EBizPeFODM

Current theory is that Sonic is referring to Tom when he asked Shadow what he did #SonicMovie3 #SonicTheHedgehog pic.twitter.com/wO3JYtkEXk
