Ever since Sonic the Hedgehog 2’s ending teased the arrival of Shadow the Hedgehog, myself and the rest of the Sega franchise fandom have been wondering who would voice this notable baddie. As we get closer to director Jeff Fowler’s Sonic the Hedgehog 3 being released as a holiday present on the 2024 movie schedule, that speculation is already heating up. That’s thanks to a new tease for the film stoking the fires surrounding the potential casting of a famous Star Wars actor, as well as a big ticket action star, as the anti-heroic hedgehog.
This is where the fun begins, as Paramount Pictures’ title treatment reveal for Sonic 3 has caused reports of Hayden Christensen’s supposed casting to resurface. First reported as a rumored hot tip from scooper DanielRPK (via Gaming Bible), that notion has been circulating once more.
