Deadline has verified that Keanue Reeves has been selected to lend his voice to the character of Shadow in the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3 film by Paramount Pictures.

Reeves becomes a member of a group headed by Ben Schwartz, who portrays Sonic. James Mardsen takes on the role of Tom Wachowski, Sonic's human companion in the movies, while Jim Carrey portrays the eccentric scientist Dr. Robotnik.

Quote

First introduced in the video game Sonic Adventure 2 in 2001, Shadow is a creation of Professor Gerald Robotnik, the grandfather of Sonic’s arch-nemesis, Dr. Robotnik. Possessing extraordinary speed, as well as Chaos Control, a power that allows him to manipulate space and time, he’s initially depicted as an antagonist to Sonic, though in the games, he eventually becomes an ally.

Jeff Fowler has been the director for all three movies, and the latest one is scheduled to be released in theaters on December 20th.

My six year old has been on the edge of her seat for this since she watched the first two movies in 2023.

And I have to say, the first two aren't bad.  There are parts that quite funny.

[Lord_Scareglow]

Yeah I;ll watch if of course, I have been entertained by the first 2 movies, and the Knuckles Mini series, so I guess I should just keep going.

I'm actually just amused by the fact they made it this far with 3 movies, I really didn't think this was going to make it as a franchise.
