Unlock the Magic: Live-Action Universe Coming to The Gathering
Magic: The Gathering Universe Expands with Live-Action Film and TV Series
Hasbro and Legendary Entertainment are joining forces to create a vast, immersive universe based on the beloved trading card game, Magic: The Gathering. The project will kick off with a feature film, followed by television series and other content, as the cinematic universe takes shape. No release dates have been announced, but fans are eagerly anticipating the next move.
A Rich History of Magic
Hasbro acquired Wizards of the Coast, the parent company of Magic: The Gathering, back in 1999. Since then, the game has grown exponentially, boasting over 50 million players worldwide. In 2022, Magic: The Gathering became the first Hasbro brand to cross the $1 billion annual revenue mark. Its consistent revenue growth makes it a valuable asset for the company, especially during a time of overall decline.
A New Era of Magic
"This partnership is an exciting and complementary match, uniting one of the world’s most iconic brands with a powerful and proven steward," says Zev Foreman, Head of Film at Hasbro Entertainment. "Decades of epic world-building and creative storytelling have inspired Magic: The Gathering, making it a perfect fit for Legendary’s diversified approach to marquee IP. We’re thrilled to work together and build a whole new Magic: The Gathering universe."
What’s Next for Magic?
As the project unfolds, fans can expect a rich, immersive experience that brings the world of Magic: The Gathering to life in a whole new way. With Legendary Entertainment’s expertise and Hasbro’s beloved brand, the possibilities are endless. Stay tuned for updates on the film and TV series, and get ready to enter a new era of magic.
