Paramount’s ambitions are high when it comes to Sonic, as the franchise’s lead producer wants them to be “Avengers-level events.”
It can’t be denied that the Sonic movies are popular. Both of them sit within the top 10 highest-grossing video game film adaptations, and they’ve definitely relit a spark in the Sonic fandom, even if the movies haven’t translated into overwhelmingly strong video game sales. Even still, franchise and series executive producer Toby Ascher has some bold plans for the live-action Sonic universe. Speaking to Paste about the Knuckles series, Ascher said, “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.
“We knew that, with Shadow coming into Sonic 3 and some of the bigger things that we want to do, the Sonic franchise on the movie side is going to be these Avengers-level events. They’re going to be these big, exciting stories that have a lot of different characters. And so what television did for us is it gave us time to go into some of the more supporting characters in depth and really build them out in cool ways.”
