According to multiple reports, Keanu Reeves will be voicing the fan-favorite character Shadow in the third installment of the popular Sonic the Hedgehog film series. This will be the character's feature-length debut in live-action, following a brief cameo during the credits of Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

Based on the video game, the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise follows the titlular hedgehog who has the ability to run at ludicrious speeds.
