When they hear there’s something happening in the city, or there’s a bank being robbed, they’re not thinking about it.
So, although it doesn’t necessarily come up, we’ve always sort of assumed that the sorcerers have bigger fish to fry.

This is very much a standalone introduction to a very complex character and a very complex world, which — through this movie, and until maybe some upcoming movies — is relatively self-contained and independent.
