Ever since Shadow was confirmed to appear in the third Sonic The Hedgehog film, fans have been wondering who would be cast to voice the iconic character, especially after Idris Elba’s much praised performance as Knuckles.

According to a report from The Hollywood Reporter, Shadow will be voiced by none other than Keanu Reeves, the star of The Matrix, John Wick, and many other blockbuster movies. That said, The Hollywood Reporter credits “multiple sources” for this information, meaning that his casting has yet to be officially announced by Paramount.
