Keanu Reeves is voicing Shadow the Hedgehog in the third Sonic movie

Keanu Reeves is about the play another ultimate life-form.

The third Sonic movie already seemed like it was going to kick all kinds of ass by bringing Shadow the Hedgehog into the picture, but Paramount’s just upped the ante by adding one Keanu Reeves to its cast. According to both The Hollywood Reporter and Variety, Keanu Reeves has been tapped to voice Shadow, the anthropomorphic hedgehog best known for his jet-powered sneakers and fondness for guns. We didn’t get a chance to hear him shout “chaos control” or “this is the ultimate” then, but it feels safe to assume that he’ll do that and then some when Sonic the Hedgehog 3 premieres on December 20th.
