#Magic: The Gathering universe

Hasbro is officially bringing Magic: The Gathering to the big screen, teaming up with Legendary Entertainment to create a live-action film and television “universe” based on the iconic trading card game. With an estimated 50 million players worldwide, Magic: The Gathering has grown into one of Hasbro’s most valuable properties. “Magic: The Gathering has inspired decades of epic world-building and creative storytelling. It is a perfect match for Legendary’s diversified approach to marquee IP, and we are excited to work together to build a whole new Magic: The Gathering universe.” Legendary Entertainment brings substantial experience in adapting gaming franchises for film, having previously produced Warcraft and Pokémon Detective Pikachu. This partnership suggests Hasbro is aiming for a similar approach—bringing Magic: The Gathering to mainstream audiences while ensuring it resonates with its existing fanbase. The upcoming Magic universe appears to be separate from this Netflix project, meaning Hasbro is investing heavily in multiple fronts to bring the card game into broader entertainment media. With Legendary’s backing, Magic: The Gathering has the potential to become a major new fantasy franchise in Hollywood, rivaling other tabletop adaptations like Dungeons & Dragons. Magic: The Gathering has given fans an exciting first look at its upcoming Universes Beyond crossover with Final Fantasy, teasing a set that brings legendary characters and themes from across the Final Fantasy franchise into the MTG universe.
