The 2024 movie, which was directed by Jeff Fowler, stars Jim Carrey, Ben Schwartz, Krysten Ritter, Natasha Rothwell, Shemar Moore, James Marsden, Tika Sumpter, Idris Elba, and Keanu Reeves. It is the third feature-length installment in the live-action franchise adapting the video game franchise of the same name, which launched in 2020 and also includes the Paramount+ spinoff series Knuckles, focusing on the adventures of the titular echidna voiced by Elba.
