EVER SINCE HE was teased in the previous film, people have been desperate to know who’d be stepping into the oversized trainers of Sonic The Hedgehog 3’s new antagonist, Shadow.
At last, it’s been revealed that Keanu Reeves will be voicing the character — a dark counterpart to the prickly hero, first introduced to gamers in 2001 game Sonic Adventure 2.
Shadow is no relation to Sonic. In the games’ canon, he was genetically engineered in an attempt to create the ‘Ultimate Life Form’. Shadow’s bad attitude and tragic backstory quickly made him a fan-favourite. He was even given his own game, where he got to mow down government forces with a semi-automatic rifle.
