Recently, Jeff Fowler, the director of the Sonic the Hedgehog movie franchise as well as the third Sonic the Hedgehog movie, has posted an image saying that production has wrapped up. With that, it is probable that a trailer might be released soon for the movie now that production has wrapped up, but then again, it might take a while until a trailer to be released.

More curiously, it seems there is an image on the clipboard on the image of the wrap-up of production as posted by Jeff Fowler, and it shows Shadow on it. This might be a big tease for the Ultimate Life Form in the new Sonic movie.

That said, this picture of Shadow does look like the Shadow in the Sonic the Hedgehog games, so whether the Shadow from the third Sonic movie is nearly identical to the games version of Shadow or if there is a different Shadow in the movie may remain to be seen. This may be it, though to me, judging by Sonic's image on the right side, which apparently has blue arms like in the movies.

For reference, the filming, at least with the animated characters, started in July 2023, and the filming for real-life actors began in the same year, if in November. The filming of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 ended in March 2024, and finally, production has wrapped up for the movie in near the end of the same month. Even then, there is still work that has to be done.

The film itself is set to release on December 20th, 2024 around Christmas time, and while the rating is not yet determined, it is suggested that it might be PG-13 in The USA.

Also on the clipboard are Knuckles the Echidna and Miles "Tails" Prowler the Fox, though other characters that may or may not be int he film, such as Amy Rose the Hedgehog and Rouge the Bat, who were in Sonic Adventure 2 that the third Sonic movie is based on, have not really shown up yet, so it is still unknown if they will make an appearance in the third Sonic movie or not. It is hinted, though, that Hayden Christensen of Star Wars fame may be the voice of Shadow himself.

Either way, Shadow looks like he could look very nice in the film, and he does look quite different from how he looked at the mid-credits scene in the previous movie, Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Either way, as said before, it might or might not be too long now before we get to see the Ultimate Life Form in action in the third Sonic movie in CGI form.

Honestly don't think we'll see a trailer until at least August, following the pattern with Sonic Movie 2. But nonetheless, this is exciting news!
