Keanu Reeves has made his debut as Shadow in the first trailer for Sonic The Hedgehog 3.
The clip, which you can view below, gives fans a first look at Sonic’s new nemesis in the trilogy, voiced by Reeves.
In the game series, Shadow is an anthropomorphic hedgehog with black fur, and is somewhat of an antagonist.
In the trailer, Reeves’ character proves more than match for Sonic, Tails and Knuckles leading the trio to turn to Dr Robotnik for help.
Reeves’ inclusion in the movie was first announced back in April.
The John Wick star joins a star-studded cast, with the previous films featuring Ben Schwartz as Sonic, Jim Carrey, James Marsden and Idris Elba among others.
The upcoming film, scheduled for a US release on December 20, 2024 and the following day in the UK (December 21) will see many of the cast reprising their roles from the previous films. The third film draws inspiration from the early ’00s video games, Sonic Adventure 2 and Shadow The Hedgehog.
The franchise has proved commercially successful so far, with the combined global box office for the first two films pulling in $725.2million (£547.8million).
In a three-star review of the second movie, NME wrote: “Schwartz was born to voice Sonic. Known best as scene-stealing Jean-Ralphio from sitcom Parks and Recreation, he’s sufficiently funny and energetic to keep the film’s pace up but also clever enough not to overdo it.”
The review continued: “The motor-mouthed rodent could be an extremely annoying protagonist in different hands. Here, he’s loveable.”
