| “ | They're planning to steal the second keycard just like you are? Yes I'm aware. I called it when Commander Walters was attacked so thank you for taking the bait and fall in right into my trap. | „ |
| ~ Rockwell after capturing Sonic, Robotnik and Gerald in the vault in Sonic the Hedgehog 3. |
Director Rockwell is a major character in the 2024 film Sonic the Hedgehog 3, the third installment in the Sonic Cinematic Universe.
She is the director and current leader of Guardian Units of Nation following Walters' death. Although despite the fact that she recruited Sonic, Tails and Knuckles she actually has a strong dislike for aliens.
She is portrayed by Krysten Ritter, who also played the titular character in the Netflix series Marvel's Jessica Jones.
Personality[]
Rockwell is a strict and tough military official who takes great importance in the operations of the Guardian Units of Nations. She is notably willing to do anything to preserve the protection of Earth such as placing the vault containing the last Eclipse Cannon key to prevent anyone from stealing it for nefarious plans.
Rockwell displays xenophobic traits and has a deep distrust of alien beings, including Team Sonic. She often gives them cold stares and shows little respect, referring to them simply as "aliens" instead of their real names. Rockwell's mistrust intensified after the attack on Commander Walters as she assumed that Team Sonic was responsible for the incident and that they had obtained the first Eclipse Cannon key from Walters. However, Commander Walters had actually given Team Sonic the key. Rockwell dismisses Sonic's attempts to warn her, ignoring his claims that it was actually Robotnik and his grandfather Gerald seeking the second key, Rockwell's stupid behavior shows that she has no respect for any alien creatures, even good ones like Sonic, forcing Team Sonic to resort to their emergency plan.
Some people speculate that it's possible that she would be more of a villain than how she was in Sonic 3 but that will depend on the upcoming fourth movie.
Biography[]
| “ | I'm Director Rockwell. There is a very dangerous situation unfolding right now in Tokyo. Commander Walters is requesting Team Sonic's... immediate assistance. | „ |
| ~ Rockwell recruiting Team Sonic to stop Shadow in Tokyo. |
Not much is known about Rockwell, except she's the Director of G.U.N. who recruited Team Sonic to stop Shadow's attack in Tokyo. After Commander Walters was killed by Professor Gerald Robotnik in the Chao Garden, she took his postion.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3[]
When Shadow the Hedgehog was unexpectedly awakened from Prison Island and made his way to Tokyo, where he effortlessly eliminated the Guardian Units of Nations forces sent after him. Recognizing the danger Shadow posed, Commander Walters ordered Director Rockwell to travel to Green Hills, to recruit Team Sonic. Rockwell arrived in a G.U.N. helicopter accompanied by her assistant, landing in the forest. There, she encountered Tom and Maddie Wachowski along with the team. Referring to them as "aliens," Rockwell offended Sonic the Hedgehog, who quickly pointed out that her assumption was correct.
Rockwell introduced herself and requested the team's immediate assistance for a situation in Tokyo, a mission they quickly accepted. They departed in a helicopter, using a ring portal to reach Tokyo faster. During the trip, the team followed the trail of a massive explosion to locate the source of the threat. In frustration, Rockwell listened to Sonic's joke about the low-budget flight, with no food and movies, before deploying with his friends at Shibuya Crossing.
Later, Team Sonic and Walters gathered at the Chao Garden to inquire about Shadow, just before they were attacked. After the attack, Rockwell and her platoon made their way to the restaurant, where they found Walters, severely wounded. As she searched Walters' pocket for the Eclipse Cannon keycard, Rockwell instead found a photo of Team Sonic, which led her to believe they were responsible for the attack and had taken the keycard, further increasing her mistrust of them.
To protect the second and last Eclipse Cannon keycard, Rockwell configured the vault at G.U.N. Headquarters with variable gravity, which could be adjusted via a tablet. Later, Rockwell walked through the hallways of the headquarters, conversing with her assistant about the situation in Colorado, making it clear that no one should know about it. She then encountered Agent "Randall Handel," who greeted her with a military salute, leaving her confused.
When Sonic, Doctor Eggman, and Gerald Robotnik arrived at the vault, Rockwell confronted them, explaining the variable gravity system and seizing the keycard. She disregarded Sonic's warnings, firmly believing that Team Sonic and Team Robotnik were both after the keycard. Rockwell revealed that her platoon had captured Tom, Maddie, and Tails, and she intended to arrest everyone for the infiltration. However, Knuckles the Echidna glides toward the headquarters at high speed, using the Flames of Disaster to break through the barrier and into the vault, the impact of which knocks the gravity control device out of Rockwell's hands, and snatched her tablet to disable the gravity system, though he accidentally malfunctioned it while trying to adjust the settings.
With the keycard lying on the ground and Rockwell stuck to the floor, she crawled to reach it, competing against Eggman. After Sonic successfully deactivated the variable gravity, Rockwell managed to grab the keycard before Eggman. She then ordered her subordinates to handle the situation. While trying to keep the keycard safe, Rockwell encountered "Walters," who had managed to survive. He ordered her to hand over the keycard to keep it safe with him, a command she followed, unaware that it was actually Tom disguised as Walters.
