Before Shadow the Hedgehog was even teased in the post-credits scene of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, many actively campaigned for Keanu Reeves to voice the fan favourite character when he was inevitably introduced to the franchise.

And given the filmmakers' tendency to actually listen to fans - per their decision to rework the original Sonic film's widely-mocked Sonic design and even delay the movie's release in the process - they did precisely that.

Beyond enjoying a major career resurgence over the past decade courtesy of the John Wick franchise, Reeves' aloof, stoic vocal delivery just feels like a perfect fit for the hilariously not-self-aware edgelord that is Shadow.

The trailers certainly seem to confirm that Reeves thoroughly understood the assignment and just might give fans the definitive portrayal of the character, ensuring this seems to be a rare case of a fancast both actually happening and impressively turning out for the best.
