I've seen Keanu Reeves frequently get fancasted for Shadow and I'm all for it.Matt Stone would be an acceptable backup plan.
I do agree but he did really love the character and had a lot of fun. He's shown to be excited in numerous interviews on it and would even come up with ideas to the producers and writers. So to me it's not surprised. To me his retirement came off as "If I think I'll have fun with the role I'll do it but if it's not something I am interested in I have no desire to take acting gigs for money."
So we're thinking once this movie becomes the inevitable success it's destined to be because SA2 nostalgia lives strong with millennials, we're almost definitely gonna get a Shadow spin-off, right?Probably. They're already making a Knuckles spinoff, aren't they?
Probably. They're already making a Knuckles spinoff, aren't they?
But more importantly, I wonder what the 4th movie will be about. They'll probably skip stuff like Heroes and Riders and maybe go right to 06.
I'm thinking they'll go Sonic 06 as well. Although the movies haven't done Metal Sonic yet, right? Heroes could be a good Sonic 4.Oh yeah, Metal Sonic would be strange to skip outright. Heroes might work in that regard, as well as if they want to introduce more characters like Chaotix, Cream, etc.
My Sonic lore is pretty low but does Sonic have any main enemies besides Robotnik? Only other one I know of is Metal Sonic but even he was created by Robotnik so that barely counts.

I mean you have s minority opinion on this one.
i loved the dynamic between Carrey's Robotnik and Elba's Knuckles in Sonic 2.
wonder if we're gonna get the same but with Robotnik and Shadow. also, i wonder who is gonna play Shadow. wouldnt mind Mahershala Ali voicing him actually!
If we get a Shadow spinoff, they have to have him use guns.Having the spinoff cover the Shadow game would be pretty appropriate, tbh.
I've seen Keanu Reeves frequently get fancasted for Shadow and I'm all for it.
I never underestimate the Sonic fandom or will I ever take their opinion over my own lol
Little girl bout to get smokedI'm gonna have the biggest smile on my face when it happens.
I didn't see 2 so I didn't know that lolYou didn't have to see 2 though. The logo for 3 literally has half of Shadow's colors. I never watched any of the Sonic movies and when I saw the logo for 3 I realized Shadow was in it
I like how they kept Robotnik, but Sonic calls him Eggman as an insultSame. They shouldve kept it this way.
omg i guess he likes playing as eggman? :oGive Jim Carrey a role where can be an overacting ham, and he's all over it. Eggman is meant for Jim Carrey.
Where is the proof that he is coming back?
There was a second one?
Didn't the fist one get panned?
Wait when did 2 come out wtfMarch 30, 2022
I like how they kept Robotnik, but Sonic calls him Eggman as an insultHis name has officially been Dr. Ivo Eggman Robotnik since 2001.
His name has officially been Dr. Ivo Eggman Robotnik since 2001.
March 30, 2022Damn Wtf doesn't even seem like it's been 2 years since the first came out. I'm really losing track of time.
I mean, Sonic Adventure 1 basically implies the whole Eggman being a name from Sonic, but he's primarily referred to as Eggman, even personally, after that. I think most know that this was basically a result of consolidating the JP & US continuities, but Sonic Frontiers' Egg Memos are the first instance where it's explicitly confirmed that Eggman simply leaned into the name to flip Sonic's intent.Speaking of how characters get their names this is Sega's official reason for why Shadow has his name
You mean like when Mark Hamill said he was done with Star Wars/The Joker, and then came back for both, both times?
Or when Daniel Craig said he would slit his wrist before playing another Bond movie and then he did do another Bond movie?
Money talks. Throw the vault at them and bingo.I won't ever play bond ever again nope

I never watched any of the Sonic movies and when I saw the logo for 3 I realized Shadow was in itHonestly I didn't look closely enough at the logo to notice that (basically just glanced while scrolling past the first time), but yeah now it's incredibly obvious

Ohh, yep that's it I remember now. Never knew how well the actual movie did. Good for them. Still amazed I never even realized they made a part 2 lolLol, yeah, it's kinda weird. I'll be honest though, they're more family movies than actual Sonic movies. Entertaining and well-made, but doesn't focus as much on like...the actual characters and worlds they're from as they should. Sonic 2's a bit better on that and 3's rumored to have even more focus on the game characters. They're worth checking out, IMO.
IIRC the SA2 manual has his name as Dr Ivo Eggman Robotnik.
Besides his grandfathers name is Gerald Robotnik.
wish they would show a trailer already
also jim carey is terrible at playing eggman
