Exciting news has surfaced for fans of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise as Keanu Reeves is reportedly voicing Shadow in the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie, according to "multiple sources" from The Hollywood Reporter. Shadow, a character that made a brief appearance in the post-credits scene of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and was shown again during a closed CinemaCon 2024 presentation, will join the voice ensemble featuring Ben Schwartz, Jim Carrey, Idris Elba, James Marsden, and Lee Majdoub. With the film's production wrapped up at the end of March, anticipation builds as the release date is set for December 20th in theaters.

When is Sonic the Hedgehog 3 coming out in theaters?

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is scheduled for a theatrical release on December 20th.

The Sonic the Hedgehog movie series has brought one of gaming's most beloved characters to the big screen. Voiced by Ben Schwartz, the speedy blue hero embarks on adventures that blend elements from the original Sega video games with new plot twists. The inclusion of Keanu Reeves as Shadow suggests an expansion of the universe and more complex storylines, as Shadow is known for his darker backstory and anti-hero persona which contrasts with Sonic's light-hearted nature.
