Because Shadow, from a tonal standpoint, is an anti-hero, he’s got a little edginess to him.”

He knew what we were after, and was excited about playing the character and coming into our world.”Keanu Reeves disclosed his feelings on playing Shadow on the big screen in Sonic 3 and said, “For 50 years, Shadow has been in a state of suspended animation.
