So I Animated Keanu Reeves as Shadow the Hedgehog… | (Sonic Movie 3 VA CONFIRMED?!)
Paramount's recent CinemaCon showcase revealed that the actor will voice Shadow. The showcase sees a dejected Dr. Robotnik, played by Jim Carrey, rejuvenate after creating Shadow the Hedgehog, a dark and brooding counterpart to Sonic with similar abilities.
Shadow's exciting first appearance in the 2001 Nintendo GameCube game Sonic Adventure 2 immediately captivated fans. Shadow became an instant classic in the Sonic franchise, and fans have been waiting for his leap to the big screen since the first Sonic the Hedgehog film came out in 2020. One fan even predicted Keanu's casting for the role of Shadow with an AMV.
