Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is bringing Shadow into the cinematic fold, and contrary to some long-standing rumors, he’s going to be voiced by none other than the breathtaking Keanu Reeves.
Rumors have been circulating that Hayden Christensen would voice Shadow since earlier this year, but there was never a clear origin point for those rumors. Nonetheless, the idea spread like wildfire, and admittedly Christensen does have a certain reputation for playing edgy bad boys. Still, I don’t think anybody’s going to be too upset with Reeves in the role.
Reeves is best known for his action star roles in films like The Matrix and John Wick series, but he’s had plenty of experience in voice roles, too, including appearances in everything from Toy Story 4 to DC League of Super Pets.
