As a huge Donkey Kong fan, I was so excited to hear that the team brought in legends like Yoshiaki Koizumi and Shigeru Miyamoto really early in the development process. They wanted to nail what makes Donkey Kong Donkey Kong, and those conversations actually sparked a ton of ideas – not just for how the game would play, but also what kind of cool technology they could use to really bring those ideas to life. It sounds like those discussions were incredibly helpful!

While first appearing as a tough, quiet brute, Donnie proved to be more complex, driven by past experiences and a strong sense of loyalty.

Chatham recently discussed adapting the source material, filming intense scenes, and Donnie’s fate with ComicBook, as well as his hopes for the future of the acclaimed sci-fi series, The Expanse.
