Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Film Casts Shadow, Voiced by Keanu Reeves | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Two years after debuting in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, it seems a Hollywood leading man of sufficient talent has finally been found to portray the edgy Shadow the Hedgehog. Keanu Reeves, who needs no introduction but will get one anyway, is the star of film franchises like The Matrix and John Wick, and, of course, Cyberpunk 2077, has been confirmed to play the part.

Rumours have circulating in recent hours, but The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed the casting, locking down multiple sources familiar with the subject. The news comes hot on the heels of the first footage of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 being shown during Cinemacon. Reeves will no doubt spice things up in his own, uniquely Keanu way, but it remains to be seen how he fairs when paired with the moustachioed Dr. Robotnik, with Jim Carrey confirmed to be reprising the role.

Khayl Adam is Push Square's Australian correspondent, a reporter tasked with scouring the internet for the most succulent PlayStation stories. With five years of experience as a freelance journalist and mercenary wordsmith, RPGs are his first great love, but strategy and tactics games are a close second, genres in which he is only too happy to specialize.

I guess this means Shadow will be dual-wielding in the movie then.

Whoa.

Basically perfect. Or as perfect as you can get for a Hollywood actor instead of just the original guy.

So Cyberpunk's two biggest supporting characters now voice Sonic characters. There's a joke in there about how both Sonic film and Cyberpunk both needed fixing to come good.

Not interested in Sonic media where anyone talks, but that's cool.

Whoah… I'm just looking forward to another round of weird product placement that for some reason becomes an integral part of the plot. Anybody else hungry for some olive garden?
