Wouldn’t be surprised if it was Rob Pattinson. He got into voice acting with the boy and the heron recently and he’s the only other guy I can think of where people will freak out.

The fact they’re holding it off and being so secretive about it only leads me to believe it must be someone big. Someone that would actually get the hype train into full gear.

You did pointed out valid reasons for those Hayden Christiensen rumors. Since, it did break out the internet from out of no where. But, I’m expecting the actor who would be voicing Shadow could be a surprise announcement. Similar on how Idris Elba just randomly teased that he’s voicing Knuckles in Sonic 2. Like a surprising casting announcement like that.

I know it'll be an A-list celebrity but I'd be happy if it was David Humphrey from SA2 and Heroes.

I heard it could be Benedict Cumberbatch playing shadow, and while i personally don't want him as shadow, he is someone that could be completely unexpected like Idris elba playing knuckles.

How cool is it that people are getting hype for Robert Pattinson these days? Back in the day, would never happen, people wanted him gone. The guy stuck it out and earned his title.

Ben Affleck? Keanu Reeves? Jensen Ackles?

I fell like it’s gonna be a actor everyone loves and knows

It’s funny that you’ve mentioned Brendan Fraser in this video because back somewhere in the mid 2000s I wanted him to be Knuckles’ voice actor at that time. Lol

I agree with you, Chris I was mixed on the Hayden rumour due to it coming out of nowhere. However, it's possible that he was once on Jeff Fowler's shortlist for who could play him which has happened previously with the shortlists of both Sonic and Tom before Ben and James were chosen (Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Paul Rudd, Josh Gad, Charlie Day, Bill Hader, Adam Devine, Will Forte, Andy Sandberg & Jim Parsons for Sonic while Chris Evans, Chris Pratt, Paul Rudd, Jake Johnson, Micheal B Jordan, Bill Hader, Jason Segal, Justin Timberlake, Adam Pally, Ansel Elgort & Milo Ventimiglia for Tom). I actually agree with your casting of Jon Betheral as Shadow as he has displayed rugged intensity in his previous roles i.e., Frank Castle/The Punisher and Shane in The Walking Dead. Additionally, I didn't consider Dave Bautista but with his role in 'Knock at the Cabin' I think he'd do wonders as Shadow. With my fancasts for Shadow I tried to cast an Actor that hasn't been mentioned for Shadow which includes. 1. Wagner Moura (Pablo Escobar from Narcos, Death from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish) 2. Jake Gyllenhaal (Lou Bloom from Nightcrawler, Quintin Beck/Mysterio from Spider-Man: Far From Home) 3. Riz Ahmed (Ruben Stone from Sound of Metal, Carlton Drake from Venom) 4. Zachery Quinto (Robot from Invincible, Spock from the Star Trek Reboot trilogy) 5. Sebastian Stan (Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier from the MCU) What do you guys think? Who would be your Ideal casting for Shadow?

my gut says that robert pattinson is gonna be the va cos you made a great point of how he can switch up his accent and voice.

Love your video and keep up the great work you are awesome

I see Keanu as Shadow being the Sonic films equivalent to that, since Sonic has an obsession with Keanu Reeves in the first movie. EDIT: OH wow I'm a prophet!!! Thx for the likes guys lol

I’m honestly hoping for either Robert Pattinson or Oscar Isaac as Shadow, I don’t honestly think it’ll be Keanu Reeves because he might be too expensive and he was already mentioned in the first Sonic movie as himself so he technically already exists in the Sonic universe so it would be weird for him to be the voice of Shadow

I really hope it will be jason Griffen ❤❤

I swear if John campea does the voice I will honestly lose it 🤣

Well, let's hope it is either Hayden Christensen or Jason Griffith. I also hope Tara Strong will voice Amy if you don't agree with me that's fine

I kinda feel bad for whoever ends up voicing Shadow, you know damn well they’re gonna end up facing unwarranted scrutiny with people going “oh it should’ve been Hayden Christianson” I’m sure whoever ends up doing it will be fine even if it is Hayden

Iam so excited to see the voice actor for shadow the hedgehog ❤❤

Glad that I let you know about it🙏🏽

now this is what you call hype!!!!!! can't wait to see who it is!!!

Im praying its jason griffith. It would be cool to see my childhood shadow in the movie.

I really hope it’s Jason Griffith ❤ he just sounds so awesome! Besides I feel like if they wanted to decide they could put up a Twitter poll or something since majority of sonic fans use Twitter and let the fans decide...anyway, excited for sonic 3, and I’m rooting for Jason!

Hey, you said that we’re gonna be very happy. I was happy hearing Hayden Christen was going to be shadow now I’m upset.

What if Campea is playing us so that we all think it will be someone else. Only for it to revealed to be Hayden Christiensen and we all get excited again?

For Hayden Christensen, people didn’t expect him to be Shadow (for the rumor at least), but they then realized how perfect he would’ve been for the role. Hopefully that’s the case of the real VA

I don’t think they’ll choose the most obvious choices for the voice actor like maybe that’s why they didn’t choose Hayden Christensen because he already played a character like Shadow so if he was the one voicing him it would bring only Anakin/ Darth Vader vibes to the character and I bet the director wants someone that brings their own energy and bring the Shadow’s characterization to life like how Idris Elba brought that tribal warrior vibe to Knuckles

I'm thinking of the original shadows voice, prime shadows voice,(maybe) but my absolute all-time favorite I would love would be Shadow's voice from the project Shadow fan film. That would just be plain sick. 😎

They didn’t 100% confirmed for a celebrity actor they specifically said “most likely” if not I can definitely believe it could be Jason Griffith I hope that’s what John’s tweet was referring to us being “really happy” and Jason lived in LA for 6 years now btw but I can see it maybe being Keanu Reeves or Robert Pattinson but I really hope it’s Jason Griffith

We're here thinking about big celebrities, but imagine if they cast Jason Griffith. I'd be more than happy if we got him back as Shadow.

Can wait for this movie 🍿 🎉🎉🎉

I wonder if it the actor who voiced him in the games will be the voiced for the film

Let's gooooo

It's gotta be the real voice actor i can feel it

I honestly have my doubts. Why would they just announce it a week *after* cinemacon like he said in a response on that post?

LETS GOOO

I would love for Jason Griffith to voice Shadow in the movie! His voice is perfect for him!!❤

Wells here's something that people might not expect to voice shadow. But I personally think. The Man to voice shadow could be. Jason Griffin.

Keanue Reeves can bring that John Wick type of character for Shadow since he’s a hedgehog with a few words and all action.

i have so much copiem for Jason Griffin to voice shadow, i am still fighting how the shadow statue reveal was on jasons birthday is a coincidence.

I'm really hoping that it will be Keanu Reeves!

When i saw shadow's dark rider i think it's Jason Griffith from Shadow the hedgehog and Sonic and sega all stars racing video games

Idk what Shadow sounds like but I hope the VA is gud in the movie

I've been saying it for a while, I think that they're not going to reveal Shadow's voice actor until after the Knuckles series, where the final scene will be Shadow making a brief appearance with his voice actor finally being revealed.

One I really want someone like Dan green who voiced knuckles in sonic x. The voice yugi/yami yugi. He has a menacing voice fitting shadow.

I hope it amazing 🎉

Imagine Christ Pratt as shadow 💀💀

I think it would be Jason Griffith, hopefully.

Kinda disappointed that it probably wont be Hayden but I'm excited to see who they actually cast as Shadow

I LOBE IR VIDSSSSSSS

Now that I know Hayden will most likely not be voicing Shadow, here is my three choices: • Oscar Isaac • Pedro Pascal • Robert Pattinson

Ngl, Mark Fischbach could be a great Shadow, yeah, I think Markiplier could be a good Shadow. Obviously its sort of unrelated but it would be really cool if its John Wick himself.

Chiwetel Ejifor would be a perfect Shadow! especially if You heard him as the voice of Scar in 2019's The Jungle Book

Only Shadow can make even the most serious movie critic geek out. Not referring to anybody particular though.

Bro I wanted Hayden Christiensen as shadow so bad bro 😔🙏

A voice actor that a lot of people want is Jason Griffith, he voiced Shadow (& Sonic) in the games from 2003-2010

Hey 3c films, I just searched up on Google that I think I know who should Voice shadow in the sonic movies, Jordan Calloway he's the guy who Played Khalil Payne in Black Lightning TV series. I think he'll be my next pick For shadow the hedgehog. So, what do you think of it??😊😊😮

The Rock would be a better voice for Vector. And yes Bernthal would also be good, as well as Pattinson. Just thought about this but what about Hugo Weaving doing his Agent Smith voice?

Jon bernthal. “Hey Sonic, let me tell you somethin..”

I hope it's Keanu Reeves that plays the voice for shadow

it will either be Keanu reeves or Robert patterson as Shadow for Sonic movie 3 but they are saving Shadow voice actor to not make a mistake

Hoping its Oscar Isaac whos voicing Shadow!

I’d want Keanu Reeves, Robert Pattinson, or Jensen Ackles as Shadow!

Is it going to similar to Tails as in one of Shadow's voice actors from the Sonic the Hedgehog shows like Jason Griffith, Kirk Thornton or Ian Hanlin going to play the live action version of Shadow the Hedgehog?

“I am Shadow! Paul Duke Atreides! Under the blue sea or something!” Bro 😭

I honestly am expecting at this point, they aren’t gonna reveal his voice actor till the trailer. Like imagine the hype if a trailer comes out and they have a whole “Robert Pattinson, is Shadow The Hedgehog!” scene

3:47 the reason they casted colleen is because she also is the current voice actor for tails in the games

I know this is a long shot, but what about the guy who voiced anakin in the Clone Wars Matt lanter

Imagine if Jason Griffith is the voice actor(he voiced Shadow in 2005)

Whoever it is, I'm gonna reserve all judgment until I actually hear their voice in-character. Afterall, Idris Elba was a very unexpected choice for Knuckles. But he fucking nailed it.

Jason Griffith is possibly on the table but it’s more than likely that it’s not him

It could either Hayden Christensen or Ian Hanlin to voice Shadow the Hedgehog.

My high-likely guesses for both Robert Pattinson and Keanu Reeves to share their unique voice to play Shadow in Sonic 3

I don’t seem to see many people at all requesting or saying they want voice actors from any of the video games to voice characters in these video game movies. Unless maybe I am just missing those comments and such. But if that is the case....I am honestly curious as to why? Most of us have associated Shadow with a certain voice for example, and wanting a more famous person to voice them might not work as we hope. Again, just honestly curious and figured this would be a good spot to see the opinions of other fans.

I Think my most ist Ryan Carter as his Role as Heckyl in Power Rangers Dino Charge and in Power Rangers Cosmic Fury

Would it be jaw dropping if we saw Keanu Reeves or Robert Pattinson playing the live action version of Shadow the Hedgehog?

I would be hyped if Keanu Reeves was the voice of shadow for the movie but what’s wrong with bringing back the voice of shadow from the games

Then It has to be Jason Griffin, Robert Pattinson, or Tony Todd, although the Last One Tony should probably play either Black Doom or Mephiles, but the point is I thought Hayden should’ve played Shadow and I’m sad this isn’t true however I’m wondering who would Paramount would reveal the Voice of Shadow the Hedgehog?

I feel like its one of these three which are Jason Griffith and the other 2 actors I know have been fan casted for the role for a long time which are Keanu Reeves and Robert Pattinson

If Hayden Christensen is not going to be playing Shadow the Hedgehog, Do you think he should play Black Doom in the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie?

Robert or keanu reeves would be great as shadow!

He said people will be very happy so I think it may be either Jason Griffith Keanu reeves or Rob Pattinson

Hot take what if its one of the actors that already voiced him in either the games or animation?

It can be Keanu Reeves or Jason Griffin who voice Shadow.

I wouldn't mind Christian Bale as Shadow

Imagine it’s the og shadow from the sonic the hedgehog game

I don't have a clue who it's going to be, but it would be really funny if it was Keanu Reeves. Sonic was a KR fanboy in the first film, the irony would be wonderful.

Fingers crossed for Keith David

Dylan O'Brien could make a great Shadow, look at his performance of void stiles, he's the spitting image of Shadow

OMG

I'm begging for it to be Ray Chase. W voice actor🙏🏻

Imagine there’s this massive buildup to who the voice of shadow is and it’s just Ryan reynalds.

Bro..............

In the words of Kaytraminé: "Who He Is?" 🎵🎵🎶🎶

Imagine Norman Reedus as Shadow

Even though it wouldn’t make sense since Sonic mentioned him a few times imagine if it was The Rock 😂

👍

The rumor is it's the shadow voice actor David Humphrey also Reeves and Bautista would be horrible choices

Sonic Movie 2 payed Idris Elba 8 million to Play Knuckles, and Keanu Reeves was Payed 15 million to play John Wick, so I say now with The Sonic Movie Franchise Almost becoming a billion dollar trilogy, I can possibly see them pulling it off and getting Keanu Reeves, and plus Keanu Reeves has done Voice Acting Before so my final prediction It’s Keanu Reeves, and I believe that they’ll announce the voice actor after the knuckles show is released

Watch it be like Troy Baker
