The production was initially slated to commence earlier, but unforeseen inconveniences arose due to the SAG-AFTRA strike. Consequently, the parts without actors were shot first. Full-fledged production for the movie, including the involvement of actual actors, began in November. The occasion was commemorated with a teaser image featuring Shadow the Hedgehog’s stand-in statue. Shadow’s character was teased as Sonic’s new villain. Despite only revealing his shoes, the hype has already been created.
