In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Fowler discussed the challenges and excitement of bringing Shadow to the big screen, telling the site, "That's the challenge of these films. It's always to take what has come before in terms of the video games and the comics and all that. How do we take the essence of what the fans love and merge it with this movie treatment that we created? We certainly are very respectful about what fans expect to see and what they love about the character. We're also very aware of the times and the right way to handle that kind of imagery in a family film. I think we really ended in a great place. I think fans will watch this film and really appreciate Shadow and Maria. A lot of care and a lot of love has gone into telling Shadow's story and giving fans the best movie version of the character imaginable."

The inclusion of Shadow is a strategic move to appeal to longtime fans of the Sonic franchise while attracting new viewers.
