Production on the third installment of the "Sonic the Hedgehog" franchise has resumed after the SAG-AFTRA strike with a new look at Shadow the Hedgehog.
In a new post on social media from the movie’s official account, a new photo was dropped showing off Shadow’s look.
“Off and Running,” reads the post on X.
The appearance of Shadow in the third installment comes as the character was teased in the mid-credits scene in "Sonic the Hedgehog 2" revealing that the installment will feature more classic characters.
"Sonic the Hedgehog" is an action comedy movie based on the video game franchise published by Sega.
Ben Schwartz voices the titular character in the film that stars James Marsden, Tika Sumpter, Natasha Rothwell, Adam Pally, Lee Majdoub, Neal McDonough, and Jim Carrey as the mad scientist Dr. Robotnik.
Jeff Fowler is set to return as director for the upcoming movie, with a screenplay written by Pat Casey and Josh Miller. Neal H. Moritz produces the pic alongside Hajime Satomi, Toby Ascher, Tim Miller, Nan Morales, and Toru Nakahara.
The first movie, which was released in 2020, was a box office hit bringing in more than $319 million worldwide. A sequel would follow in 2022 that added Idris Elba voicing Knuckles the Echidna and Colleen O’Shaughnessey voicing Miles “Trails” Prower, Sonic’s yellow-orange fox sidekick.
The follow-up movie brought in $405 million at the worldwide box office.
Before the sequel had officially been released, a third movie had already been greenlit. Paramount Pictures and Sega also announced the development of a spinoff TV series revolving around Knuckles with Elba confirmed to reprise his role.
"Sonic the Hedgehog 3" races into theaters on December 20, 2024.
