Sonic the Hedgehog director wants to make a Super Smash Bros movie

gamesradar.com:

The director of the Sonic the Hedgehog movies has said he would love to make a Super Smash Bros film adaptation, but admits it would be tricky. 

In an interview with comicbook.com (opens in new tab), Jeff Fowler was asked how he’d feel about working on a Super Smash Bros movie adaptation with his version of Sonic playing a vital role. To which Fowler responded: "Nothing would make me happier than to just throw all the characters into a battle royale and do a big Smash Bros. thing."

The director then goes on to mention the logistics of such a huge crossover by saying: "That would probably require some work from the lawyers before that could happen." This doesn’t mean Fowler is against the idea though, as he also added on the topic: "Getting Mario and Sonic in the ring, I mean everyone would be kinda dying for that, right? That's just classic."

Although a Super Smash Bros movie might be a little outside the realm of possibility right now, it looks like Sonic may get his own cinematic universe soon. Following the release of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 at the start of this month, producer on the film Toby Ascher teased: "We’re creating a Sonic cinematic universe. We knew we were going to add characters, like Tails and Knuckles; new to the films but beloved by gamers all over the world."

This probably doesn’t come as much of a surprise considering earlier this year it was revealed that a live-action Knuckles series and a third Sonic movie are on the way, with the former being produced for Paramount Plus and starring Knuckles’ movie voice actor Idris Elba.
