Keanu Reeves Plays Shadow in Live-Action Sonic 3

News came out Monday from Deadline that Keanu Reeves will play Shadow the Hedgehog in the future Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie. Fans of the well-known video game series will be happy to hear this!

New Faces Joining the Cast

IGN says that the new movie will also have Krysten Ritter, Alyla Browne, James Wolk, Sofia Pernas, Cristo Fernández, and Jorma Taccone in it. Ben Schwartz, Idris Elba, and other actors who have been in the show before will be back, along with some new names.

Release Date and Spinoff Series

People are really looking forward to seeing the movie in cinemas on December 20. But the Knuckles spinoff series’ launch, which was supposed to happen in 2023 on Paramount+, has been pushed back to 2024 and will now happen on April 26, 2024.

Box Office Success

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was a huge hit when it came out in the US in April 2022. In just three months, it made over $400 million. The movie made more money than both the original Sonic movie and The Super Mario Bros. Movie. It is now the highest-grossing video game version in U.S. history.

A Look Back

The first Sonic the Hedgehog movie, which came out in 2020, was also a hit. It opened at number one and made over US$70 million. A lot of famous faces will be in the movie. Ben Schwartz will play Sonic, James Marsden will play Knuckles, Tika Sumpter will play James Marsden, and Jim Carrey will play Dr. Robotnik. For Sonic fans, it’s an exciting time because the series keeps growing on the big screen!
