Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Keanu Reeves has been cast to play Shadow as the main antagonist of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, and it continues a great villain casting trick from the first two movies in this franchise. Set to be released on December 20, 2024, the Sonic threequel will follow up on a tease from the end of Sonic the Hedgehog 2. That movie’s mid-credits scene took audiences to a secret G.U.N. research facility, where Project Shadow was underway.
Both Carrey and Elba really elevated their respective movies, and the franchise overall. The first two Sonic the Hedgehog movies are serviceable action comedies, but their A-list stars are the main draw. Audiences turned up in droves to see the first Sonic movie because it promised Carrey in mustache-twirling Riddler mode. They turned up for the second movie for the hilarious juxtaposition of the rich, brooding voice of Elba booming out of a red echidna.
It’s rare that Reeves has played a villainous role. He previously played against type as Donnie Barksdale in The Gift and Don John in Much Ado About Nothing, but he typically plays heroic roles like Neo and Johnny Utah . That makes his casting as Shadow in Sonic 3 a novelty – enough of a novelty to catch the attention of moviegoers who otherwise might not have been interested in a Sonic movie.
