The Japanese cast for the third Sonic the Hedgehog movie (Sonic x Shadow Tokyo Mission in Japan) has been revealed, featuring returning voice actors and veterans in the industry. Of particular note is Toshiyuki Morikawa, the “emperor” of the Japanese voice actor industry, who will play Shadow. [Thanks, Gamer!]

The Japanese cast list for the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie is:

• Agent Stone: Daiki Hamano (Go Onizuka in Yu-Gi-Oh)
• Doctor Robotnik, Gerald Robotnik: Koichi Yamadera (Akiyama in Yakuza series)
• Knuckles: Subaru Kimura (Todo in Jujutsu Kaisen)
• Maddie: Marina Inoue (Armin in Attack on Titan)
• Marina: Aoi Yuki (Madoka in Puella Magi Madoka Magica)
• Shadow: Toshiyuki Morikawa (Kira in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable)
• Sonic: Taishi Nakagawa (Kaede in live-action Kakegurui)
• Tails: Ryo Hirohashi (Shirley in Tales of Legendia)
• Tom: Yuichi Nakamura (Louis in Metaphor: ReFantazio)

Some of these actors are reprising their roles from previous films or projects. Nakagawa, for example, voiced Sonic in the first two films. Hirohashi has served as the voice for Tails since 2003. As mentioned earlier, Morikawa will portray Shadow in his theatrical debut. However, Morikawa was not the previous voice actor for Shadow. Koji Yusa was the one who portrayed Shadow in properties like Sonic X.

Here is the Japanese trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 3:

Ahead of its December 20, 2024, a new Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie trailer shows us Keanu Reeves as Shadow the Hedgehog. The video highlights existing characters from the first three films, like Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Tom Wachowski, before getting into the new hedgehog’s origin story.

Things begin with Wachowski telling Sonic that he has a family now. This happens as brief clips of Tails and Knuckles, who debuted in the second live-action movie, show up. From there, we are taken to a secure facility where Shadow is being created. He breaches security and escapes. The government then calls in Team Sonic to handle the Shadow the Hedgehog escape in the film. This moment also involves a callback to the games, with Shadow in containment and touching hands with a young girl who appears to be Maria Robotnik. Dr. Robotnik's involvement is teased after the halfway point, and we actually get to hear Reeves as Shadow after the 2:20 mark.

Here's the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie trailer highlighting Shadow.

We first learned about the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie back in February 2022. At the time, Shadow initially wasn’t revealed as part of it. The character’s involvement came up in later teases. 

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will appear in movie theaters on December 20, 2024. The previous two movies are available now, and the Knuckles TV show is on Paramount+.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the third Sonic the Hedgehog movie will feature Keanu Reeves as the voice of Shadow. The film is set to release in cinemas on December 20, 2024, and the director teased Shadow's appearance back in November 2023.

The leak originated from The John Campea Show, a movie-focused podcast and YouTube channel. In a video on the channel, Campea describes how he was told of the casting by someone "very connected" at the afterparty for a showing of The Fall Guy at Cinemacon 2024 in Las Vegas.

Reeves is well known for his role in the Wachowski Sister's The Matrix trilogy (1999 - 2021), as well as in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989), and more recently the John Wick series (2014 - 2023).

Jim Carrey is also set to star in Sonic the Hedgehog 3, returning to his role as series antagonist Dr Robotnik. A spin-off show featuring Idris Elba's Knuckles is also set to debut on Paramount+ on April 26, 2024.

Keanu Reeves is reportedly voicing Shadow in the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie, which is set to release in cinemas on December 20, 2024.

The Sonic Sessions latest remix once again involves the Persona 5 singer. Lyn Inaizumi appeared for her take on a track without words. It is a jazz rendition of the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Continue music.

The full video offers extra details about the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 "Continue - 30th Sessions Version." Jun Senoue handled the arrangement for it. (This was one of the first Sega games Senoue composed music for back in the 1990s.) S.A.M.E. is performing on the track alongside Lyn. It is also a more lengthy take on the tune. It lasts for almost two minutes.

Here's the "Continue - 30th Sessions Version" Lyn Sonic Sessions song. At the end of the video, Knuckles also appears. This is a nod to the fact that people can make the game into Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (& Knuckles).

As mentioned before, this is the second time Lyn performed music from the Sonic series. In December 2021, Sega shared another track. In it, the Persona 5 singer performed the Sonic Adventure 2 theme "Escape from the City."

These are only two of the Sonic Sessions remix tracks so far. The series is designed to offer new takes on classic songs. It is unknown how many pieces of music will be a part of this collection.

In the 1990s and 2000s, Tiger handheld games were a big thing. You could find these little LCD games based on original concepts or famous IPs. Now, four are coming back in Fall 2020. The Tiger Sonic 3, The Little Mermaid, Transformers, and X-Men handhelds will be heading out at $14.99 per game.

Each one of these handheld games is an exact recreation of the original models. The Tiger Sonic 3 takes some cues from the original Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Sonic runs along a path, jumping and moving to avoid and attack enemies. In The Little Mermaid, Ariel avoids obstacles on screen, like her father or Ursula’s minions. In Transformers, which is the Generation 2 model, Optimus Prime drives along as a truck and sometimes has to turn back into a robot to defeat Decepticons. In the X-Men game, Cyclops faces enemies like Juggernaut and a Sentinel.

Listings for all four of the Tiger handheld games have already appeared on GameStop. People interested should also make sure to have two AA batteries ready for each unit they purchase.

In the past, other Tiger handheld games included units based on Castlevania, Double Dragon, Duke Nukem, Golden Axe, Mega Man, Pac-Man, Shinobi, and Street Fighter.
