Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget is set to see feathered freedom fighter Ginger come face to face with her former arch nemesis Mrs. Tweedy once again. According to director Sam Fell, though, the frightening farmer wasn't initially going to be in the Netflix sequel.
"We had a male villain first of all," Fell explains in the new issue of Total Film, which hits shelves next week. "We thought: new movie, new villain. Bond works that way. But the key was, thinking about Ginger as the central character. You think about Aliens – Ripley's haunted by what she went through. That shadow she has to inevitability face again just seems so deep and strong. So it came out of Ginger, needing to have the rematch."
