"Alongside the fantastic Hasbro team, we look forward to creating a multimedia universe that thrills longstanding fans and creates a broad wave of new ones. This is an exciting and complementary partnership, uniting one of the worlds most iconic brands with a powerful and proven steward," Zev Foreman, Hasbro Entertainments Head of Film, said. "Magic: The Gathering has inspired decades of epic world-building and creative storytelling. It is a perfect match for Legendarys diversified approach to marquee IP, and we are excited to work together to build a whole new Magic: The Gathering universe. Hasbro, which owns Wizards of the Coast which works on the Magic card game, launched its entertainment business in 2023. It's currently working on movie adaptations for GI Joe, Clue, Monopoly, Furby and even Play-Doh. Prior to that, it released titles like Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. Magic The Gathering's current set, Aetherdrift, launches next week, marking its 103rd expansion since the card game debuted in 1993. The game has held a steady audience, but interest exploded when Universes Beyond: The Lord of the Rings arrived in Summer of 2023. The game gained widespread attention when only one special version of the 'One Ring' card was made, which Post Malone purchased for $2 million (over 1.6 million). Magic takes place in a wide range of universes called Planes, which each have their own theming, characters, and story, so the possibilities are near endless for what the movie and show could focus on.
