Well, I don't think it'll be a real-time rendered 3d model in the game. Probably 2d pre-rendered. In which case you can't really expect real-time shadows. And even if it was a 3d model, making his shadows interact with a 2d environment (such as propping a shadow against a wall) would be a pain, unless you wanted to have a 3d model of the scene underneath the 2d picture, at which point you should probably go with full 3d anyway...
