A movie from Mega Man has been for a long time in development with Chernin Entertainment and the rumors have swollen for a long time moving at Netflix, but can we definitely say a Mega Man movie comes to Netflix? The answer seems to be yes.
The rumors of a Mega Man movie that jump to Netflix have retired for years. The IMDB page for the movie Mega Man is located on the Netflix list for quite some time, but we still do not have an official word of The Streamer, so we summarize everything we know so far.
For those who are not familiar, Mega Man is one of the most important games in Capcom who saw his first release in 1987 in the Nintendo entertainment system (NES). Dozens of game launches later (and many other media formats as well) the franchise is still huge to this day.
The story of the movie Mega Man.
We are going to rewind a second, since the movie Mega Man has been in development for quite some time.
In September 2015, Chernin Entertainment was attached to a live action project of Mega Man, which will be launched to be released by the fox of the twentieth century. Chernin Entertainment was notably working extensively with the fox of the twentieth century at this point.
Later it was announced that Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman were announced to write and direct the project. More about these two in a second. In addition, the additional reports indicated that Masi Oka would produce and Mattson Tomlin would also be on the writing team.
In addition, Capcom has said that the film would be “an adaptation that maintains the world of Mega Man Games while incorporating the great production and the value of entertainment in which Hollywood films are known.”
Since then, the project has been incredibly calm, since this initial ad with the work happened under the radar. It was even thought that Disney dismissed the project in 2019 after his acquisition of the fox of the twentieth century.
That was until April 2020, when it was announced that Chernin Entertainment was signing a new first place agreement with Netflix. That led many to speculate the film would eventually move to Netflix. But again, Radio Silence in Mega Man until later that year.
In August 2020, Mattson Tomlin spoke with the polygon briefly on the mega man movie that says he was still under development, but he did not mention where he would be landing. However, he said it will be “universal and primal and emotional, and everyone can relate to” add “I am very excited about that script. I am really excited about what the boys are going to do with that movie and, luckily, there will be some news In this regard soon “.
Now, fast forward until December 2021, some eagle eye fanatics have seen an update of the Super Marche website, which is the site for the production company, Helmed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman.
The part that most interests us is the section that says:
“Henry, Rel, and its internal producer Orlee-Rose Strauss maintain an active development blackboard. The characteristics of the works include: an adaptation of the mega man from Capcom for the entertainment of Chernin and Netflix, who wrote and are directing”
So that everyone officially confirms, we will see that Mega Man will come to Netflix.
Everything else known about the movie of Netflix Mega Man.
Moving Picture Company (MPC) are among the special effects companies for the film at IMDB. Again, there is no official confirmation of your participation beyond them listed on this list, but it is worth noting that they have done many projects in which the animation is included in the shots of real life. They have also worked at American Horror Story of FX.
Returning to the mentioned polygon interview, Matt Tomlin was asked if the movie would be like Sonic The Hedgehog (which also recently got an adaptation of live action) in which he replied:
“I think it’s something that children would like. I do not want to say what our compositions are, since I could betray a little too much, but it is not full in the child territory. But I do not think that’s a movie for adults, either “.
IMDB updates the project to be in pre-production as of December 5, 2021.
