Hasbro has introduced that it is partnering with Legendary Leisure to make a live-action Magic: The Gathering film, adopted by a TV present, as a method of kicking off a kind of cinematic universes all people loves. (By way of Nerdist.)
Legendary Leisure has co-produced motion pictures like Batman Begins, Warcraft, and A Minecraft Film, in addition to TV exhibits like The Expanse and Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft. Mary Father or mother, chairman of worldwide manufacturing at Legendary, mentioned, “We delight ourselves on being considerate stewards of singular, beloved IP, and no property higher suits that description than Magic: The Gathering. Alongside the improbable Hasbro staff, we stay up for making a multimedia universe that thrills longstanding followers and creates a broad wave of recent ones.”
Beforehand, Netflix introduced an animated sequence based mostly on Magic: The Gathering was within the works, and as of September final 12 months it nonetheless is. Are the 2 linked, or will we’ve got dueling Magic: The Gathering universes on our arms? I don’t know.
No launch date was talked about so that is one other “great distance off” form of deal, and assuming it survives growth hell, it will be ages earlier than we will go to a cinema and see, I dunno, Idris Elba as Teferi and Scarlet Johansson as Chandra and Chris Hemsworth as Ajani Goldmane with, inevitably, Jack Black as Fblthp.
