Look, while we all have “fan casts” in our head of people we think would totally crush certain roles in various entertainment properties…it doesn’t always work that way. Just look at what NetherRealm Studios has done with Mortal Kombat characters in recent years…it’s a mixed bag at times. However, when Keanu Reeves was cast as Shadow The Hedgehog in the upcoming Sonic 3 film, which releases in December, people were pumped. First, Keanu is an established voice actor across multiple films, so he knows how to make things happen. Plus, as John Wick fans know, he is dedicated to the roles he does.
According to Sonic 3 director Jeff Fowler in a Twitch stream, that didn’t change here, as Keanu apparently went full-force into the Shadow The Hedgehog role to ensure that it was as good as it could be. Fowler talked about this on his YouTube channel:
So, what does this prove? Well, it shows that Keanu Reeves is one of the best to ever do it, and we need more people in Hollywood like him. Pure and simple.
