Keanu Reeves is joining the "Sonic the Hedgehog" franchise as Shadow the Hedgehog! At the Los Angeles premiere of "Sonic the Hedgehog 3," Keanu spoke to Access Hollywood about his great experience working on the project and stepping into the "intense" character of Shadow. Plus, Keanu reacted to co-star Jim Carrey calling him "the man that every man aspires to be" during the film's junket earlier this month. "No, he didn't," Keanu said with ah surprised smile. "Well, he's very kind, and he's very generous, and it speaks to his beautiful heart, and the man is a creative genius. He's a genius, and in this film, he's even more genius. He's double genius, because he's playing two roles," he added. "Sonic the Hedgehog 3" hits theaters on Dec. 20.
