In the planned third Sonic film, Keanu Reeves will play Shadow.
We are excited by Paramount's announcement that Keanu Reeves would be lending his voice to Shadow the Hedgehog in the third Sonic movie, even if it wasn't on our bingo card for this month. It makes sense, as the internet adores both the actor from John Wick and the legendary edgy hedgehog.One of the most iconic Sonic characters in the whole series is Shadow the Hedgehog, sometimes referred to as goth Sonic, which is why his little teaser at the conclusion of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was so thrilling. Since the movie's 2022 premiere, we've been aware of Shadow's impending arrival, but we were unaware until recently that Keanu Reeves will be playing Shadow. As if Knuckles played by Idris Elba wasn't awesome enough!The John Campea Show first reported on the news while covering Paramount's CinemaCon 2024 presentation. Since then, other insiders have confirmed similar assertions to The Hollywood Reporter, suggesting that Shadow has found his voice. Given his prominent involvement in Cyberpunk 2077, his appearance in Fortnite's John Wick skin, and the many other video games that borrow his image from his films, Keanu Reeves is no stranger to collaborating in the video game industry.
