Hasbro will be partnering with Legendary Entertainment for a live-action "Magic: The Gathering" movie and TV series, which are intended to kickstart a shared multimedia universe. No release dates have been announced. Legendary Entertainment's portfolio includes films like "Godzilla vs Kong", "Dune", "Batman Begins", "Warcraft" and "A Minecraft Movie", and TV shows like "The Expanse" and "Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft".
Mary Parent, chairman of worldwide production at Legendary, talked about the project: "We pride ourselves on being thoughtful stewards of singular, beloved IP, and no property better fits that description than Magic: The Gathering. Alongside the fantastic Hasbro team, we look forward to creating a multimedia universe that thrills longstanding fans and creates a broad wave of new ones."
Hasbro Entertainment head of film Zev Foreman also added: "This is an exciting and complementary partnership, uniting one of the world’s most iconic brands with a powerful and proven steward. Magic: The Gathering has inspired decades of epic world-building and creative storytelling. It is a perfect match for Legendary’s diversified approach to marquee IP, and we are excited to work together to build a whole new Magic: The Gathering universe.".
The company Wizards of the Coast launched "Magic: The Gathering" in 1993 as the world's first trading card game, and it became a worldwide hit. Hasbro acquired Wizards of the Coast in 1999, and says the game has reached 50 million players.
Netflix previously announced that an animated series based on "Magic: The Gathering" was in the works with "Star Trek: Picard" showrunner Terry Matalas. It is unknown at this time if it will be connected with Legendary's projects.
