Keanu Reeves Cast as Voice Actor for Dark and Edgy Hedgehog Shadow in Sonic 3 Movie

In a surprising turn of events, Keanu Reeves has been announced as the voice actor for Shadow the Hedgehog in the upcoming third installment of the Sonic movie franchise. Shadow, a dark and edgy hedgehog with mirroring powers to Sonic, was first introduced in Sonic Adventure 2 and will make his cinematic debut in this new film.

Reeves' casting comes after Paramount Pictures showcased the first footage from Sonic 3 at CinemaCon last week. The footage revealed that Dr. Robotnik, played by Jim Carrey, has created Shadow as a rival to Sonic. Shadow is known for his jet-powered sneakers and fondness for guns.

The addition of Reeves to the cast adds another big name to the franchise, which already includes Ben Schwartz as Sonic and Idris Elba as Knuckles. The film is set to hit theaters on December 20, 2024.

Reeves' experience in voice acting includes roles in Toy Story 4 and DC League of Super-Pets. He is best known for his action roles in films like The Matrix and the John Wick series.

The third Sonic movie will be inspired by Sonic Adventure 2, where Shadow was first introduced. Fans are excited to see how this iconic character will be brought to life on the big screen.

Paramount Pictures has yet to make an official announcement regarding Reeves' casting, but multiple sources have confirmed the news to various media outlets.

Shadow's addition to the Sonic movie franchise was teased in the post-credits scene of Sonic 2. Maria Robotnik, a key character in Shadow's backstory, will be played by Alyla Browne in Sonic 3.
