Last time, I was excited that I could be in a movie with Jim Carrey. We even sent each other voice notes! He sent me a shout, and I sent him a shout back. That’s my guy. I love that guy. And in this film, he gets to play two characters… It’s going to be one of the funniest things people have seen. You are going to see a master at work. A masterwork. A mastermind. A masterpiece,” he said.
Elba then raved about Reeves, who was fresh from his work in “John Wick 4,” for the latter’s voice acting in “Sonic 3.”

We know Keanu for so many different types of roles, but whatever he does, he brings an icon status to it. It’s been fascinating to see him pull together Shadow. Shadow has this cool demeanor. He’s got a unique voice that is very different from Sonic’s. So it’s great that it’s Keanu bringing him to life. I’ve always wanted to work with Keanu, and this is our first time acting together,” he stated.

“The Sonic world is pure escapism. Like, ‘Wait a second. Sonic the Hedgehog? Hedgehogs don’t move fast. He’s blue? Hold on, what…?’ It’s pure imagination. The imagination of the game, the world, the characters. It doesn’t matter what age you are. Generationally, we’ve all grown up with some version of Sonic. Whether it was a movie, TV show, or game. I played the game when I was a kid, so I was honoured to be part of this,” he explained.
“Sonic the Hedgehog 3” has now earned more than $200 million in the domestic box office, becoming the second video game adaptation to hit the mark, trailing behind “The Super Mario Bros. Movie.”
