Front-page Rumor 

Keanu Reeves is reportedly voicing Shadow in Sonic the Hedgehog 3

After introducing Tails and Knuckles in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, the next Sonic movie is set to introduce another beloved fan favourite. According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Matrix and John Wick actor Keanu Reeves will be voicing Shadow the Hedgehog in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 after the character was teased in a post-credits scene at the end of the previous movie.

Reeves will be joining returning cast members Ben Schwartz, Jim Carrey, James Marsden, Colleen O'Shaughnessey, Idris Elba, Lee Majdoub, Tom Butler and Tika Sumpter, as previously confirmed by IGN. IGN also confirmed a few new cast members, including Krysten Ritter, Alyla Browne, James Wolk, Sofia Pernas, Cristo Fernández, and Jorma Taccone.

While it's unclear who most of these new actors will be playing, Browne confirmed on Instagram she would be playing Maria Robotnik, the cousin of Carrey's character. The inclusion of Maria and Shadow, as well as the song Live & Learn, suggests the movie will take heavy inspiration from Sonic Adventure 2.

This news comes just a few days after footage from Sonic the Hedgehog 3 was shown behind closed doors at CinemaCon. While the footage hasn't been released online officially yet, it allegedly shows a depressed Robotnik after the end of the previous film coming out of his funk by constructing the Ultimate Lifeform, and ends with footage of Shadow fighting Sonic, Tails and Knuckles. IGN described Shadow as looking "very much like we've seen him in the video games."

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will release December 20, 2024, bringing a close to what Sega has deemed the Year of Shadow.

So is this confirmed or is this a rumor? The title says rumor and this rumor has been actually around for quite a while now.

I didn't care for Idris Elba Knuckles voice, but I'm hyped for this one.

Agreed.

I watched Matrix 4 thinking it was gonna be good because the trailer looked promising, but no, it sucks. God damn piece of 💩.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    https://tcrf.net/Pico_VS_Bear
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, or well only the demo with mindchamber's style was on newgrounds

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Fun fact @SylverReZ: iirc one of the goals on the fnf Kickstarter stated that pico 2 would be finished but the Kickstarter didnt get enough money for that goal to be fullfiled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, FNF sucks, their community is toxic as hell.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @SylverReZ its a single player game
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, Yea but it has a shitton of mods with their own songs and stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and quite a lot of people involved in those mods get cancelled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Newgrounds wasn't the birth of FNF; rather, it was games where you beat up celebrities and parodies.
