Megamind vs. the Doom Syndicate director Eric Fogel, alongside writers Alan Schoolcraft and Brent Simons, have explained why Will Ferrell’s role as the titular character was recast for the sequel. The new movie follows Megamind defending Metro City from his former partners-in-crime, who want to destroy it. The streaming original features a different voice cast from the 2010 original, with Ferrell replaced by Keith Ferguson.
