Keanu Reeves Enters the Sonic Universe in Sonic the Hedgehog 3

Unveiling Keanu Reeves as Shadow the Hedgehog

Paramount Pictures has released a trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 3, revealing Keanu Reeves as the voice of Shadow the Hedgehog. The trailer shows Sonic facing off against this new adversary. Shadow first appeared in the 2001 video game Sonic Adventure 2. He was created by Professor Gerald Robotnik, the grandfather of Dr. Robotnik, who is Sonic's main antagonist. Shadow possesses extraordinary speed and the power of Chaos Control, which allows him to manipulate space and time. Initially, Shadow is portrayed as Sonic's adversary, but he eventually becomes an ally in the video game series by Sega, which serves as the basis for the film franchise.
