It’s possible that the director for the upcoming “Magic: The Gathering” movie has been found, potentially marking the start of Hasbro’s “Magic: The Gathering” cinematic universe. Following an early partnership with Legendary Entertainment, it seems Matt Johnson is being considered to direct the first live-action “Magic: The Gathering” series film. Although no formal announcement has been made, Deadline suggests that Hasbro and Legendary Entertainment have selected Johnson but haven’t extended an offer yet. Given that “Magic: The Gathering” will be the foundation for the planned universe, this role carries a significant amount of pressure and could establish one of the most anticipated trading card game adaptations for future success.
Matt Johnson, a renowned Canadian writer, producer, and director, is most recognized for his contributions to “Nirvana the Band the Show”, “The Dirties”, and “Blackberry”. Johnson has established himself as an independent filmmaker, yet he’s not unfamiliar with potential opportunities in big-studio projects given his notable recognition. His work, particularly on “Nirvana the Band the Show”, could seamlessly align with the multi-dimensional aspects of “Magic: The Gathering”.
Magic: The Gathering is a vast intellectual property that’s not only famous as a Trading Card Game but also appears in novels, video games, and other formats. It’s set across various fantasy realms and has teamed up with titles like Dungeons & Dragons, The Lord of the Rings, and Final Fantasy. This collection of diverse worlds aligns perfectly with the fundamental principles of Magic: The Gathering, where characters known as Planeswalkers, powerful wizards and sorcerers, can traverse different dimensions.
In the trading card game adaptation of “Magic: The Gathering,” Players are represented as Planeswalkers. Beyond this game, Planeswalkers have the ability to conjure powerful enchantments, summon creatures from various dimensions, and manipulate artifacts. Though the term has undergone some adjustments over time, its core concept remains consistent. There exist numerous Planeswalkers within the “Magic: The Gathering” universe, each with varying degrees of power. This rich diversity offers a wealth of options for the “Magic: The Gathering” movie when crafting a storyline.
Supporters of the project exhibit a mix of excitement and apprehension. While some envision a cinematic universe reminiscent of Marvel’s style with regards to Magic: The Gathering, this could potentially compromise the game’s narrative and historical depth. Conversely, others are brainstorming concepts, like focusing on the character Jace, exploring the Phyrexians and Urza, delving into Liliana’s tale, or venturing into the legendary cityscape of Ravnica.
Unfortunately, there’s no more information available about the direction the Magic: The Gathering film will take. It’s speculated that Matt Johnson may be chosen as the director, but a potential screenwriter remains undisclosed. Despite the uncertainty of the movie’s plot, enthusiasts can anticipate additional live-action and animated television series in development, all intertwined with the Magic: The Gathering film.
