Recognized Star Wars actor won't be Shadow in Sonic 3

SEGA's choice for Sonic's rival, however, would leave fans happy

Expectations surrounding Sonic 3 are gradually rising as the project's release, scheduled for later this year, approaches. As we get closer to the date, it is expected that the last mysteries surrounding the production, such as the actor voicing Shadow, will be revealed. However, an informant has revealed that it will not be one of the fans' favorite actors.

In early 2024, a rumor began circulating indicating that the celebrated actor who would portray Shadow the Hedgehog would be Hayden Christensen, who gained renown for portraying adult Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars films.

Overall, fans loved the idea, but there is bad news for all of them, as a new rumor suggests that there has been a change of plans and another actor will apparently take on the role.

Who will play Shadow in Sonic 3?

We know this thanks to Giovanni Bertone "John" Campea, director, editor, producer, film critic, and Internet personality who used his YouTube account to reveal to his followers that Hayden Christensen will not be the voice of Shadow in Sonic 3:.

While he didn't mention who the actor portraying Shadow will be, the informant assured that people will be "happy" with the choice.

It is important to remember that SEGA has decided to separate the cinematic universe from the video game universe of Sonic, so the voice actors of the characters in the games are not the ones who portray them in the movies. Therefore, the actor who will bring Shadow to life in Sonic 3 is expected.

So far, it has not been possible to see a trailer in which the public hears the rival hedgehog of Sonic in the upcoming film for the first time, so it is impossible to get an idea of who could be responsible. However, SEGA and Paramount have already shared the first footage at a convention, but behind closed doors.

We will keep you informed.
