Magic: The Gathering Cinematic Universe Announced

by Sadie Feb 21,2025

Hasbro and Legendary Entertainment are teaming up to bring the world of Magic: The Gathering to the big and small screens. This ambitious project will encompass both films and television series, with the movie slated for initial development.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Legendary, known for films like Dune, the Godzilla franchise, and Detective Pikachu, will spearhead the creation of a shared Magic: The Gathering cinematic universe. A Legendary executive stated that Magic: The Gathering is a perfect example of a cherished intellectual property that deserves careful stewardship.

PlayThe report leaves some ambiguity regarding the connection between this new initiative and the previously announced Netflix animated Magic: The Gathering series. It's possible the projects are entirely separate, or the animated series may now be incorporated into the larger shared universe.

Magic: The Gathering, a globally popular trading card game launched by Wizards of the Coast in 1993 (and acquired by Hasbro in 1999), is ripe for adaptation. This isn't Hasbro's first foray into film adaptations; their portfolio includes franchises like G.I. Joe, Transformers, and Dungeons & Dragons, with several more projects currently underway, including new G.I. Joe films, a Power Rangers movie, and even a Beyblade film.
