Keanu Reeves Confirmed Playing Shadow the Hedgehog in Sonic 3

Shadow the Hedgehog is a popular character in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, known for his mysterious and edgy personality. Fans often wonder what it would be like if Shadow were to appear in Sonic 3. Keanu Reeves, star of “John Wick” and “The Matrix” will play Shadow in “Sonic the Hedgehog 3,” according to The Hollywood Reporter and Variety. He joins a cast that includes Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik (Eggman), Ben Schwartz as Sonic, and Idris Elba as Knuckles (Red Sonic).

Shadow was introduced in Sonic Adventure 2, which was released by the Sega Dreamcast in 2001. In that game, the black-furred anthropomorphic hedgehog (Shadow) is introduced as an antagonist to Sonic and has his own storyline and abilities.

In Sonic 3, we can again expect Sonic and Tails they work together to defeat Dr. Robotnik (Eggman) and save the world — but we’ll likely get more details about the film before it comes out on December 20.

It’s unclear if the movie will follow a similar storyline — though we can again expect Sonic and his gang to stop Dr. Robotnik’s plans to take over the world — but we’ll likely get more details about Sonic 3 before it comes out on December 20, 2024.
