“John Wick” driving man Keanu Reeves will voice Shadow in “Sonic the Hedgehog 3,” a source affirmed to Assortment. He joins a cast that incorporates Ben Schwartz as Sonic, as well as Jim Carrey as the contemptible Dr. Robotnik. A representative for Foremost Pictures, the studio behind the film, declined to comment.

In the diversions, Shadow, an human hedgehog (his hide is dark, while Sonic’s is blue), is an antihero of sorts. He’s moreover frequently an adversary to Sonic.

Reeves’ credits incorporate “Speed,” “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” and “My Claim Private Idaho,” as well as the “Matrix” establishment. He will another show up in the “John Wick” spinoff, “Ballerina,” inverse Ana de Armas (his character’s uncover in a unused trailer that dropped final week at CinemaCon got gigantic commendation from the swarm of motion picture theater officials, a sign of the actor’s box office ability). Reeves is moreover set to co-star in “Good Fortune” nearby Aziz Ansari, Seth Rogen, Keke Palmer and Sandra Oh.

Jeff Fowler, who managed the to begin with two “Sonic” motion pictures, is returning as the chief on the most recent spin-off. Neal H. Moritz, Toby Ascher, Toru Nakahara and Hitoshi Okuno will create “Sonic 3,” which will open in theaters on Dec. 20, 2024.
The establishment is one of Paramount’s most fruitful, with the combined worldwide box office for “Sonic the Hedgehog” and “Sonic the Hedgehog 2” standing at $725.2 million. The studio is moreover making a spin-off arrangement, “Knuckles,’” that will debut on Fundamental+.
