The star-studded cast of Sonic the Hedgehog just got even brighter. With Shadow the Hedgehog joining the lineup in Sonic the Hedgehog 3, fans are eagerly wondering who will voice the newest character and whether they'll do him justice. Enter Keanu Reeves, who’s stepping in to fill the role. Frankly, I can't think of anyone better. Shadow's deep, raspy voice is iconic, and Reeves can deliver it effortlessly without needing to alter his voice.

Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and 2 were both pleasant surprises, in my opinion. Jim Carrey was as hilarious as ever as Dr. Robotnik, even 'putting on some weight' as a joke to stay true to the character in this movie. With Knuckles and Tails also featured in this movie, I'm confident that Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will cap off the trilogy nicely.

With the movie’s premiere just around the corner, check out the trailer below to see what’s in store when it releases on December 20th.
