  • Keanu Reeves discusses fan reactions to Sonic 2's Shadow tease in a new Sonic the Hedgehog 3 featurette.
  • Paramount's video shows Keanu delighting in Shadow's reveal, hoping fans enjoy his portrayal.

  • Reeves joins an all-star cast, including Jim Carrey and Ben Schwartz, in Sonic 3, releasing December 2024.

If you saw Sonic the Hedgehog 2 in theaters with a bunch of fans, then you got to see a bunch of nerds lose their damn minds when it was revealed that the third movie would feature fan-favorite character Shadow. It was the kind of post-credits reaction that is usually limited to comic book movies these days. However, we got it with a video game film [and sort of a comic book movie; there were Sonic comics, I know there were comics, don't try to be technically correct, it's annoying]. That reaction alone was reason enough to believe that Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is the sure thing this December before they showed a single frame of the movie or announced who would be voicing Shadow. However, getting Keanu Reeves just makes it better since Reeves is one of the best human beings ever. In a short featurette released by Paramount, Reeves talks about seeing a video of one of those theater reactions to the reveal and how it made him feel. He also hopes that fans will like his Shadow. If the comments on YouTube are anything to go by, we think they already do.
