Keanu Reeves Will Voice Shadow in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 [Video]

A “whoa” seems fully appropriate here: Keanu Reeves, star of the John Wick franchise and many more of our favorite movies (he’s also a musician, a comic book writer, a meme inspiration, and is generally seeming to be living the dream), will voice Shadow in Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

Speculation about who will play the fan-favorite character in the latest entry in the popular video game-adapted series has been running high, and now the Hollywood Reporter cites “multiple sources” (and hat-tips the John Campea Show) confirming it’ll be Reeves. The character was teased in the mid-credits of Sonic 2, and the movie—due December 20—will take place after the events of Sonic 2 as well as the upcoming Knuckles spin-off series for Paramount+ (which hits the streamer next week, on April 26).
