The Sonic the Hedgehog films are aiming to be “Avengers-level events”.
That’s according to Sonic franchise producer Toby Ascher, who spoke to Paste about the decision to create the forthcoming Knuckles TV show spin-off, starring Idris Elba.
“We got really excited about the idea of expanding our characters in our world into television, specifically, because it gives us a platform to really do character studies,” he said.
