Sega’s proclamation of 2024 as the year of Shadow the Hedgehog seems to be accurate as renowned actor Keanu Reeves is rumored to voice this character in the upcoming Sonic 3 movie, as confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter and several anonymous sources. Fans expected Shadow’s appearance in Sonic 3, slated to be launched by Paramount on Dec. 20, 2024. Although the post-credit scenes in Sonic 2 gave a glimpse of this antagonistic character, the official announcement regarding who will voice him had been elusive until these reports.
Keanu Reeves’ probable role as Shadow comes as a surprise although the actor has been quite active, working in various key roles, including playing John Wick in the eponymous series. His past roles in movies like Cyberpunk 2077 as Johnny Silverhand and the CGI SpongeBob movie depict his versatility and fans are excited to observe his portrayal of Sonic’s rival character.
The confidential choice of Keanu Reeves for voicing Shadow reflects the continuing trend of incorporating renowned cinematic personalities in the Sonic live-action sequence, with Jim Carrey and Ben Schwartz breathing life into Dr. Robotnik and Sonic respectively. Alongside, the animated series and game keeps its fans connected through enduring performances from stars like Colleen O’Shaughnessey known for voicing Tails. Moreover, ahead of Sonic 3, fans can anticipate Paramount’s live-action spinoff “Knuckles,” starring Idris Elba, exclusively on Paramount Plus from April 26.
