The director of “Sonic in the movie” explained why there was no place in the film for Knuckles

People first saw the blue hedgehog and his inveterate opponent Dr. Robotnik on large screens Jim Carrey.

Despite all the advantages and fan service, in the film there was no place for the echidne Knuckles. As the director explains Jeff Fowler, there was a reason: the creators wanted to focus on the confrontation between Sonic and Dr. Robotnik. Adding other characters could harm the integrity of the plot of the picture.

“When creating the first film, we focused on the game of 1991, looking at how it all began. In this universe there are many wonderful characters, but for us it was most important to focus on Sonic and talk about him in such a way that everyone would love him and worry about “And then, if all goes well, we can expand the story to include some other characters that fans know and love. And yes, no one is as excited about an opportunity like me,” says Jeff Fowler, pointing to a possible sequel.

To date, the picture has collected at the box office about $ 220 million.
