Megamind Creative Team Talk Sequel Movie & Show, Bringing In New Actors & The Doom Syndicate

Summary DreamWorks' beloved blue alien is back with Megamind vs. The Doom Syndicate and Megamind Rules!. The franchise first kicked off with the 2010 animated movie starring Will Ferrell as the titular alien whose desires to defeat the superhero Metro Man seemingly pay off, putting him on an uncertain path in life. After defeating a new powerful being he created, Megamind elects to become the new hero of Metro City.

Eric Fogel: It's an honor to be invited in. I was a huge fan of that original film, and when I knew that Brent and Alan were coming back to be part of this, I was all in, and couldn't be more excited to be part of it. Eric Fogel: And when I came in, it's always a little nerve-wracking meeting new people. Brent and Alan were such great collaborators that it just made it so easy for a newbie like me to come in and just sort of put our heads together and help brainstorm and map out the series.

Alan Schoolcraft: It created more of a mystery around him, which was good. There was definitely a slow burn, it's like, "Who is this guy and how bad is he gonna be?" And then in the second half, you see he's terrible, in a good way. Alan Schoolcraft: Yeah, so Will Ferrell has only done the voice for, you know, 85 minutes whereas Keith has now done it for 10 hours.

Alan Schoolcraft: Yeah, the goal with the movie was just to make a fun movie for the whole family to enjoy, because that's what we want the show to be, for families to sit down and watch it together. But it does, as the show sort of progresses, I don't want to say mature themes, but it gets to be, like Brent said, a little more like the tone of the movie. And I think people will be really surprised as the show goes on.

Eric Fogel: I think I also am a big Nighty-Knight fan. That was one of the characters that we did invent sort of from scratch. Some of the other Doom Syndicate, there were versions of those that were developed over time, but Nighty-Knight was one that was original. So, sort of figuring him out, and then seeing what Brent and Alan did with capturing his voice, and then having Talon Warburton, son of Patrick Warburton, come in to voice that character, just leant this credibility.
