If the latest trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 wasn’t thrilling enough, the exciting connection to Dragon Ball Z’s Vegeta definitely seals the deal.
After much anticipation, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is now prepared to make its debut on the big screen. The film will follow the journey of Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails as they face a new, enigmatic adversary and work to protect the world.
The upcoming film will feature the return of Ben Schwartz, Idris Elba, and Colleen O’Shaughnessey as the main trio. Jim Carrey will also be reprising his role, this time playing both Dr. Ivo Robotnik and Gerald Robotnik. The addition of Keanu Reeves as Shadow has been met with much excitement.
Similarly, René García, known for his role as Vegeta in the Latin American Spanish dubs of Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super, has also been chosen as Shadow’s Spanish voice actor, joining Reeves as another iconic voice for the villain.
The two iconic franchises and their respective characters are connected in an intriguing way. Although Vegeta is now known as a member of the Z Fighters, he initially began his journey on Earth as an antagonist. Despite his transformation into a mostly good character, there remains a lingering darkness within him.
Therefore, we can confidently state that García will do Shadow justice and effectively showcase his rough, villainous persona. This has caused a frenzy among fans, who are ecstatic about having Vegeta’s voice for Shadow. As one fan tweeted on X: “The dub truly understands the assignment!”
“Another person expressed their desire for the character to say his iconic phrase ‘insecto’ at some point during the movie, saying, ‘I hope he says it klsafnklsfa.’”
A fan expressed, “God bless Keanu Reeves in North America and René García in South America.”
“Another fan commented that they were excited to watch this movie in English, Spanish, and any other language that they could find it in, tagging their friend.”
However, García is not the sole representative of the Dragon Ball world to make an appearance in the Sonic universe. Mario Castañeda, the Spanish voice actor for Goku, will also be reprising his role as Dr. Ivo Robotnik, otherwise known as Eggman, in the highly anticipated movie.
Although we anticipate the reunion of Goku and Vegeta in the Sonic world, be sure to stay updated on the release of Dragon Ball Super following Akira Toriyama’s passing. Additionally, don’t miss our perspective on the most crucial character in Dragon Ball.
