Netflix is developing a live🎐-action adaptation of the✃ Mega Man video game franchise.

's sources indicate that the project is early in development – and production company may have confirmed the news. The company's website initially had a synopsis, which is no longer available, though IGN reports that it originally read: "Henry [Joost], Rel [Schulman], and their in-house producer Orlee-Rose Strauss maintain an active development slate. Features in the works include an adaptation of Capcom's Mega Man for Chernin Entertainment and Netflix, which they wr🎶ote a𓆏nd are directing." 

At the time of writing, the site still includes the Mega Ma🅷n adaptation but makes no mention of Netflix, and the streamer hasn't confirmed the news – though Chernin Entertainment has a first look dealꦡ with Netflix.

A Mega Man movie has been in the works at Fox for some time, with Joost and Schulman writing and directing – but Disney's acquisition of the company proved to be a speed bump. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Batman screenwriter Mattson Tomlin 🥀boarded the pr🍸oject in 2020.

The Mega Man franchise is made up of games, TV shows, and comics, and began in ♑'87 when the original game was released.  

This is far from the only video game adaptation in the works. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is on the way, with the first trailer for the sequel released very recently – and you can check out 澳洲幸ꦉ运5开奖号码历史查询:our breakdown with director Jeff Fowler right here.
