#well i guess it wouldnt be impossible considering there are sonic voice actors who have done multiple characters

I think the main reason everyone's been saying more hollywood-ish names is cause iirc Jeff Fowler himself did say at some panel, they (probably paramount) had a big name in mind for Shadow.

It does suck, especially since I wanted either one of the previous VAs or the guy who does Vergil dmc, but I'm willing since Idris' Knux was great. They did say as well they already know Shadow has the biggest impact of the characters besides sonic and eggman, so they should cast appropriately or else the trailers are gonna get shit talked lol

keanu would suck eggs at it tho, he's great, loved him in uh. spongebob the movie 3?

But he's far too gritty and dark a voice for Shadow. Humphrey was perfect imo, and that's partly because he also sounded fairly young. Stoic and cool, but also young and kinda bratty when coincided with the right lines.

He's far more of a character than tragedy, edge and old vengeance and I hope whoever is casted reflects that.

that all said if fucking christian bale or adam driver is him I will burn down paramount studios. (other popular choices that I actually HATE)

yeah i remember seeing some stuff from the panel youre talking about, i dont think it was jeff fowler though i think it was some other guys? and they said something about how whoever was in charge of casting already had a particular big movie star in mind for shadow but they hadnt confirmed whether or not theyd be voicing him yet. (i think this was over a year ago though so they could have actually officially cast someone by now) but the not so great suggestions for movie shadow's voice had been going around since before that panel happened and im sure most people havent even seen it so it cant be the main reason

and yes david humphrey was such a good voice for shadow, captures the character perfectly and i really hope that his movie voice sounds at least somewhat similar to that one
