Keanu Reeves In Sonic The Hedgehog Was Foreshadowed All Along

Last night it was revealed that Keanu Reeves will be the voice of Shadow in the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie.

The news spread quickly on social media and users shared memes of Shadow, Cyberpunk 2077 and more to celebrate.

The thing is, the first Sonic movie foreshadowed (get it) Keanu Reeves' involvement in the first movie. Something like.

There's a scene in the first movie where Sonic sees Reeves in the iconic 1994 thriller Speed (because, of course), to which Sonic exclaims, “Keanu! You're a national treasure.”

Well, he's now a national treasure in a Sonic movie, although I particularly enjoy this X-user who hints at some sort of start as a voice actor for Sonic and Shadow.

I hope we get a post-credits scene of Sonic and Shadow chilling out watching TV and Sonic is freaked out by how Shadow sounds exactly like Keanu on TV, Shadow doesn't get it so they change the channel to Park and Recreation, which Shadow is on. . Shaken by how Sonic sounds like Ben Schwartz https://t.co/4Z7B9NYpKA

Elsewhere, fans have been sharing plenty of memes following the news that Reeves has been cast as Shadow.

Instead of Cgi Shadow, it should be Keanu with a red stripe in his hair, but everyone accepts that he's a hedgehog. https://t.co/ARUWuy1UmQ

With the third Sonic movie seemingly following the events of Sonic Adventure 2, fans have been sharing their favorite quotes from the game – how good would this sound in Reeves' voice?

On the other hand, it is John Wick that makes the biggest comparison to a lot of fan art that is being created rapidly.
