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 approach of kicking off a type of cinematic universes everyone loves. (Through Nerdist.)
Legendary Leisure has co-produced motion pictures like Batman Begins, Warcraft, and A Minecraft Film, in addition to TV reveals like The Expanse and Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft. Mary Mum or dad, chairman of worldwide manufacturing at Legendary, mentioned, “We satisfaction ourselves on being considerate stewards of singular, beloved IP, and no property higher suits that description than Magic: The Gathering. Alongside the incredible Hasbro crew, we sit up for making a multimedia universe that thrills longstanding followers and creates a broad wave of recent ones.”
Beforehand, Netflix introduced an animated sequence primarily based on Magic: The Gathering was within the works, and as of September final yr it nonetheless is. Are the 2 related, or will we have now dueling Magic: The Gathering universes on our arms? I don’t know.
No launch date was talked about so that is one other “good distance off” form of deal, and assuming it survives improvement hell, it’s going to 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.
