Sonic 3 Movie's Shadow Voice Actor Confirmed to Be Keanu Reeves

Keanu Reeves Officially Confirmed as Voice of Shadow in Sonic the Hedgehog 3

The highly anticipated Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie has made a major casting announcement: Keanu Reeves will lend his voice to the iconic anti-hero, Shadow the Hedgehog. The news broke via a playful teaser on the film's official TikTok account, featuring a clip of a young Keanu Reeves from Speed and a jubilant Sonic.

Speculation surrounding Reeves' involvement had circulated for months. Shadow's introduction was subtly hinted at in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, where he was depicted in cryogenic stasis. His complex character, often portrayed as both adversary and ally to Sonic, promises a compelling dynamic in the upcoming film. A full trailer, expected as early as next week, should offer a more detailed glimpse into their interaction.

Ben Schwartz, the voice of Sonic, previously expressed his excitement about Shadow's inclusion, emphasizing the filmmakers' dedication to satisfying fans.

Returning cast members include Jim Carrey as Dr. Eggman, Colleen O'Shaughnessey as Tails, and Idris Elba as Knuckles. Krysten Ritter joins the cast in an as-yet-unrevealed role.

The success of the Sonic films has significantly impacted the overall Sonic franchise. Takashi Iizuka of Sonic Team has noted the challenge of catering to both longtime fans and a broader, newer audience drawn in by the movies' popularity.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is set for release on December 20th, promising an action-packed adventure featuring Sonic, Shadow, and their allies.
