Keanu Reeves underwent a 'deep internal journey' in order to play the evil Sonic the Hedgehog With A Gun.

King Lear. Jean Valjean Eva Peron. Shadow the Hedgehog is the only role that can define a career for an actor. Keanu Reeves is playing Shadow the Hedgehog in the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Paramount has released a featurette on how he prepares to fill the rocket-skates.

Reeves says solemnly: "For 50 Years, Shadow has been in a suspended animation state. He's now coming out to seek revenge."

Jim Carrey, who plays Dr Robotnik, believes Reeves to be the right man for the part. Keanu Reeves has mastered the dark brooding nature of Shadow, the evil twin to Sonic the Hedgehog.

Reeves has almost gone to extremes to get into the mindspace gaming's most Byronic hedgehog. The actor says it was an "internal trip" to get to the anger, and the emotion. It was intense."

I must say that we hear a few snippets from Reeves in the video. He sounds just like Keanu Reeves. You could tell me that these clips were left on CD Projekt Red’s floor during his time as Johnny Silverhand, and I would believe you. I don't know if Reeves was required to travel to the centre of his self or climb a mountain in order to consult the sages to inhabit the persona Evil Sonic. I say this because I like Keanu and think he is unfairly criticized for his acting.

You can tell that he is a good actor when he says "Sonic 3 and Shadow, it's on another level." He does this without smirking. Look, I get it: these actors are promoting movies. They won't say that they are only there because Sega paid them more than God has. I, too, would've voiced Shadow the Hedgehog had Sega offered me a larger salary.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3, which will be released in cinemas on December 20th, will make 400 trillion dollars.
