\"Sonic<\/p>\n

Keanu Reeves is joining the cast of Sonic the Hedgehog 3<\/em>, according to a report by The Hollywood Reporter<\/a><\/em> (and first broken by The John Campea Show<\/a><\/em>). The outlet\u2019s sources report that the John Wick and Matrix star is voicing Shadow the Hedgehog.<\/p>\n

Sonic the Hedgehog 3<\/em> is set to premiere on December 20 and will pit Shadow alongside a returning Dr. Robotnik<\/a> (played by Jim Carrey) against Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. The returning cast includes Ben Schwartz, Idris Elba, James Marsden, and Colleen O’Shaughnessey. The film’s first trailer premiered in front of a select audience at\u00a0Cinemacon in Las Vegas last week and it provided the first real look at Shadow. Unfortunately, the trailer has yet to be publically released.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Paramount has yet to officially confirm Reeves’ casting, but if this is true, he will join fellow new cast members, including Krysten Ritter, Alyla Browne, James Wolk, Sofia Pernas, Cristo Fern\u00e1ndez, and Jorma Taccone. Shadow’s debut was teased at the end of Sonic the Hedgehog 2<\/em><\/a>, but his voice performer has been a tantalizing mystery since the third film was announced in August 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the standalone Knuckles<\/em> series premieres on Paramount Plus on April 26. You can watch the first full-length trailer for that here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
