Magic: The Gathering Cinematic Universe Announced

Hasbro is bringing the world of Magic: The Gathering to the screen, partnering with Legendary Entertainment to create a shared cinematic universe spanning movies and television shows. The focus will initially be on developing 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, showcasing their experience with large-scale fantasy and adaptation.

Created by Wizards of the Coast in 1993 and acquired by Hasbro in 1999, Magic: The Gathering has evolved into a globally recognized and beloved trading card game.

This isn't Hasbro's first foray into film adaptations. Their extensive history includes franchises like G.I. Joe, Transformers, and Dungeons & Dragons. Currently, Hasbro has several projects underway, including new installments in the G.I. Joe and Power Rangers franchises, as well as a Beyblade movie.
