MTG Cinematic Universe Unveiled

Hasbro is bringing the world of Magic: The Gathering to the screen, partnering with Legendary Entertainment to create a shared universe spanning movies and television shows. The focus will initially be on a feature film.

Legendary’s chairman of worldwide production stated, “We pride ourselves on being thoughtful caretakers of singular, beloved IP, and no property better fits that description than Magic: The Gathering.” Legendary's impressive filmography includes Dune, the Godzilla franchise (including Godzilla vs. Kong), and Detective Pikachu.

While the report suggests the Legendary adaptations may be separate from the previously announced Netflix animated series, the possibility of the animated series becoming part of this larger shared universe remains.

Magic: The Gathering, created by Wizards of the Coast in 1993, has evolved into a globally popular trading card game. Wizards of the Coast was acquired by Hasbro in 1999.

This isn't Hasbro's first foray into film adaptations; the company has a history of bringing its properties to life, including G.I. Joe, Transformers, and Dungeons & Dragons. Current projects include new G.I. Joe films, a Power Rangers movie, and even a Beyblade adaptation.
