Action star Keanu Reeves is joining the cast of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 as the voice of Shadow. Shadow, a rival to Sonic with a dark and mysterious past, is a popular character from the video game franchise. This casting news adds another big name to the film, alongside Ben Schwartz as Sonic and Jim Carrey as Dr Robotnik.
John Wick star Keanu Reeves will be voicing Shadow in the upcoming action-adventure comedy film Sonic the Hedgehog 3, according to Variety. He joins a cast that includes Ben Schwartz as Sonic, as well as Jim Carrey as the villainous Dr Robotnik, the sources have confirmed. Shadow first appeared in 2001's Sonic Adventure 2, and he has since become one of the franchise's most famous characters as an edgy antihero. He's also often an antagonist to Sonic.
