I’ve seen the Matrix, at least the first one, and I did enjoy it, but I’ve never seen the John Wick movies. Don’t get me wrong, I do respect Keanu Reeves, I just wish they picked Hayden Christensen. I’m just a bit bummed.

I mean even if people are tired of celebs in animated movies, you can't say it doesn't fit. Shadow usually talks in a dead serious and monotone voice, and Keanu Reeves pretty much made his career on that character type with guys like Neo and John Wick.

True, but Shadow acts a lot differently during his first appearance in SA2. He was more confused than “Edgy”, It wasn’t until 2005 where Sega pushed forward for the whole Emo EdgeLord character stereotype for Shadow.

Actually, early Shadow had a rather clear voice, close to Sonic's, and he didn't talk in a monotone but his voice was really expressive, showing a large range of emotions (including positive emotions). The only consistent thing was his soft spokeness.

In the first movie sonic considered keanu a national treasure. And now he’s voicing shadow himself. That’s some good foreshadowing.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if Silver the Hedgehog ends up being voiced by *Tom Holland.*

Hoping we hear Keanu say "Damn" in the movie, and a possible Shadow the Hedgehog movie spin-off.

We forget that Keanu did voice Batman in League of SuperPets, second to the late great Kevin Conroy. Plus, Duke Kaboom in Toy Story 4. So, he can do great as a voice actor and a meme icon.

I have been wondering for months or Years who was gonna do shadow's voice ever since he was in Suspended animation. And, It's Keanu Reeves? I Can't Even Believe This!

"Hey, Shadow, buddy.... you DO know that you're my favorite.... right?..... r-right??" *Sonic gets kicked through a building*

🎵 *_They made a vow! Keanu Reeves is found!_* 🎵 (Referencing the Sonic Underground theme)

A friend of mine, MugiMikey did predict this as well..

That’s so funny! Somebody commented on my channel saying that Keanu was gonna voice Shadow.

This was expected, but I'm happy for it. RIP to the people who thought it would be Hayden Christiansen or Robert Pattinson

If he can voice Batman, I’m pretty sure he can pull off a stellar performance as the Ultimate Lifeform.

You know what I love about that random scene from Speed getting thrown in there? Not only do we get the in-series prophesy of Keanu, but we also get a little bit of King Koopa with the inclusion of Dennis Hopper. Yeah, King Koopa doing a cameo in a Sonic movie, wrap your brain around that one. May as well also throw in Koopa's pizza order scene from Super Mario Bros. "King Koopa here. I'd like to order the Koopa Special".

It's too bad Dennis Hopper wasn't around to have a cameo in the Mario movie, like Robotnik's AoStH voice actor in the Sonic movies.

Can't wait to hear Keanu shout "Maria" at the top of his lungs 😂

Keanu!

Keanu playing as shadow is awesome.

John Wick In Sonic!!?!??! NAH 💀

To be fair, John Wick literally feels like Shadow The Hedgehog, and sounds like him too.

Honestly it’s perfect I adore this casting 😍

I never thought I see the day where the goat Keanu voices my one of my favorite hedgehogs🥹. It’s a match made in heaven

"You are breath-taking"

Better than most Really really Edgy voice actor

Now we know who the ultimate life form is.

Keanu Reeves Is The Perfect Role Of Shadow The Hedgehog.

Yeah a lot of people guessed him before Hayden

The fact that they went out of their way to get Keanu is a real W

I LOVE SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG HE IS MY FAVORITE SONIC CHARACTER NOW HE HAS HIS OWN YEAR AND I WILL LOVE HIM SO MUCH

I swear Sonic movie franchise is the only franchise that listens actively to fans. “Remake Sonic!” Done “Bring back JC as Dr. Eggman!” Done “Cast Keanu!” Done

Thanks for putting the answer in the beginning. This is clearly imperative information should not be padded.

This cheered me up after they revealed that Hayden wasn't going to be his voice actor. Way to go Keanu!!

Never have I wanted to skip a entire year for a movie

It all makes sense now, the Speed clip in the movie literally gave us the hint to shadow's potential voice actor, on top of the producers knowing the fans wanted either keanu or pattinson.

Unless they make another movie, I gonna say that John Wick may have reincarnated into Shadow the Hedgehog.

Keanu Reeves as Shadow what a perfect combination!!!

Absolutely beautiful

Keanu Reeves in the same movie as Jim Carrey? Awesome!

Neo, John Wick, Batman, and now Shadow the Hedgehog!

Even though Tails is the only character who's not voiced by an A-list celebrity, the voice cast for the characters is still superb. Add Keanu Reeves to it, and we as fans are as happy about this as Sonic.

Some people got hit with Apollo’s Dodgeball.

*Animators on their way to animate shadow over scenes from john wick*

I still remember in 2022 after the second one came out there was a whole thing about either Keanu Reeves or Robert Pattinson and I wanted it to be Robert Pattinson because I loved him in the newest Batman movie and he's really good at using the Batman voice but still Keanu Reeves is going to be really good.

Frist a wise ball of hay, now he’s shadow

Johnny Silverhand: “Wake the F*** up sonic”

Keanu Reeves: you're breathtaking! Shadow: thats the last breath you're taking!

You're all breathtaking!

I thought you are going to say at the beginning: “jOhN WiCk?!?”

John Wick as Shadow the Hedgehog

I swear if when Sonic meets Shadow he doesn’t say “Keanu?!” I’ll riot. And Shadow better do the “pop quiz hot shot thing”

I wasn't all too surprised until I remembered Bill and Ted's excellent adventure. Now I demand to see Shadow saying Ted's many lines!!

I never thought of this matchup but i needed it

They knew they wanted him, but didn't think about the past.

I can just imagine when sonic and shadow first meet sonic just says wait you sound like before just getting cut if by shadow atacking him.

Breathtaking to see him voice Shadow.

So awesome to hear, can't wait. 😊

I heard he was a possibility but I didn't expect it to actually happen

Keanu Reeves as Shadow will be so much epic, and amazing.

Ah, what irony indeed, given that one line in the first movie... Also, funnily enough, there's a surprising amount of parallels between Shadow and John Wick, another character played by Keanu Reeves, so I'd say this works.

Keanu Reeves as Shadow gives me the same vibes as Johnny Silverhand because they are both science experiments come to life.

They actually hinted at him in the first movie. When Sonic was watching Tom and Maddie’s tv from the window, Sonic says “Keanu, you are a national treasure”

It’s happening!

The perfect casting choice.

Now we HAVE to see shadow with a gun in his hands

Sonic is probably gonna say, "Woah! Your voice is so cool"

I see this as an absolut win

I just CAN’T WAIT to see the Trailer!

Keanu Reeves as Shadow is just perfect

I mean, and we thought jim carry as Eggman was insane...

Someone predicted in a animatic and I'm excited for it

Keanu had that energy since The Matrix and John Wick. You cannot tell me he wasn’t going to become Shadow the Hedgehog after seeing Shadow riding his motorbike. lol
