Very few villains make as big a hit as the infamous Chicken invader, Ms. Tweedy. The supervillain made her debut in Chicken Run, against the backdrop of a farm, chicken hunts, and exploding gravy. Her farms were like death camps for hens, her main objective to whip a pie and kill as many of them with her half-lidded eyes. In addition to the chicken fights, the romantic pair of Ginger and Rocky just couldn’t stop revolting. But what seemed like the end of Mrs. Tweedy in Chicken Run is definitely not the case. As Netflix gears up for the next step into the Chicken Run universe, fans cannot wait to see their pie-machine-carrying villain on screen again. 

Netflix dropped the trailer for Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget. At the end of the last movie, Rocky and Ginger were seen settling in their new home, away from the wreckage of gravy exploding death machine. While the 2000 movie might have killed the supervillain, 23 years later, the OTT giant announced the return of the purple-clad villain voiced by Miranda Richardson. With a blue eye shadow and a purple hairband, the chicken terroriser is back.
