I'm convinced that a new Sonic 3 trailer might have solved the Rouge mystery

Sonic 3 may have just got a brand-new trailer, but that's not the only new clip that's been doing the rounds. A TV spot actually sheds some more light on what might be happening in the upcoming threequel, and it could solve the Rouge mystery.

Shared on Twitter by a user called Veloriium, the new TV clip features James Marsden's Tom Wachowski with Sonic eyes as it's teased the movie will feature "body swapping". Now, while we want to know what the context of that scene is, it's given us some food for thought about another theory.

Ever since Krysten Ritter was cast, fans have been speculating that she might be playing fan-favorite Rouge the Bat. Now, it seemed like this wasn't actually the case when the cast list emerged and Ritter was listed as 'Director Rockwell' – and we even got a glimpse of her in live-action.

There does seem to be a secret character hiding in plain sight after one image from the movie was released with a very conspicuous gap in the middle. Watch this space…
