  • Keanu Reeves voices Shadow in Sonic the Hedgehog 3, promising fans an impressive performance.
  • Behind-the-scenes featurette released, highlighting Reeves's casting process and voice acting prowess.

No one should be surprised to learn that Keanu Reeves is not phoning it in when it comes to voicing Shadow in Sonic the Hedgehog 3. The character is beloved by fans, so it would be tough to get someone to make some of them happy. This could be one of those rare times when fans are all more or less pleased with a casting choice made by a movie studio. It's always fun to see Reeves bringing his signature voice and dialect to roles; you might know it's him like we know that Idris Elba is voicing Knuckles. Sometimes, these massive movie stars do a pretty good job making the jump to voice acting. This isn't Reeves's first voice acting job by a long shot, but this movie will be massive, and you know people will be clamoring for more of Reeves as Sonic the same way they were clamoring for more of Elba as Knuckles. We got a pretty decent show out of that, so who knows what the future holds here. For now, Paramount is continuing the marketing push for the movie, and we got a behind-the-scenes featurette focusing on Reeves's casting.
