Legendary and Hasbro Unite Forces
In a groundbreaking announcement, Legendary Entertainment teams up with Hasbro Entertainment to craft a Magic: The Gathering universe. Expect a thrilling live-action film and TV series based on Hasbro’s mega-hit card game. Fans of sorcery and strategic gameplay prepare for a magical storytelling adventure.
First Steps on the Screen
The journey commences with a captivating feature film. Yet, this is just the beginning. Plans for a sprawling narrative universe are in the works with television series and more. Legendary and Hasbro are committed to scaling new horizons in the world of Magic.
Voices Behind the Magic
Mary Parent, leading Legendary’s Worldwide Production, emphasized the reverence they hold for great properties. "We take pride in nurturing iconic intellectual properties," she remarked, underscoring Magic’s beloved status. Together with Hasbro, she looks forward to creating a universe for fans, old and new.
In parallel, Zev Foreman from Hasbro Entertainment expressed matching enthusiasm. He hailed this collaboration as an ideal convergence of brand and expertise. "Magic: The Gathering is perfect for our partners at Legendary,” Foreman shared. His excitement mirrors the brand’s vast potential in storytelling.
Big Plans, Bigger Universe
Hasbro isn’t stopping at films and TV. A Magic: The Gathering animated series is on the horizon at Netflix. Ambitions to venture beyond trading cards into digital and video games are in motion. Players can also anticipate crossovers with beloved franchises like Lord of the Rings and Marvel.
Understanding the Enchantment
Magic: The Gathering turned the card game world upside down when it launched in 1993. The game’s legacy, forged by Richard Garfield and Wizards of the Coast, continues to enchant over 50 million fans globally. Its unique blend of strategy and lore has maintained its vibrant community for decades.
Within the game, players become Planeswalkers—powerful spellcasters in a duel of wits and resources. Crafting decks from a vast array of cards, they aim to reduce opponents’ life to zero. Every match promises a dance of fate, strategy, and epic storytelling.
This new cinematic and television endeavor by Legendary and Hasbro promises to expand Magic’s legacy, casting a spell over fans and newcomers alike. Stay tuned, the magic is only just beginning.
