Regardless of whether the franchise continues, thecast assembled forSonic 3is incredibly exciting.

Many raised the possibility that Shadow would simply sound like, well, Keanu Reeves.

However, a recent update bySonic the Hedgehog’s live-action director Jeff Fowlerhas erased many of these concerns.

Apparently, the actor did his own research into the storyline of Shadow and implemented that into his voice-acting.

However, theSonic the Hedgehogfranchise has used stunt casting well.

Perhaps the two most common actors raised were Hayden Christensen and Keanu Reeves.
