Sonic 2 Director On Super Smash Bros. Movie Crossover Possibility
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 director Jeff Fowler addresses the possibility of a Super Smash Bros. movie crossover being produced in the future.

As the franchise has expanded to different consoles, various characters from non-Nintendo franchises have made their way to the games as well, including SEGA's Sonic the Hedgehog, Capcom's Street Fighter, Square Enix's Final Fantasy and Konami's Metal Gear. While Super Smash Bros. Ultimate continues to dominate the fighting game genre on consoles, some are hopeful to see it make its way to the big screen.
