The Russo Brothers & Netflix to Team Up on a MAGIC: THE GATHERING Animated Series
After directing the hyper-successful, Infinity-Saga-ending Avengers: Endgame, directors Anthony and Joe Russo have a new project: adapting the 26-year-old collectible card game Magic: The Gathering for the small screen.
Netflix announced Monday that the Russos would team with Wizards of The Coast and Hasbro for an animated series based on the mythology of the fantasy game. The Russos will “oversee the creation of an all new storyline and expand on the stories of the Planeswalkers" (sorry, Urza’s saga hopefuls) and will see the heroes and villains of the universe “contend with stakes larger than any one world can hold."
I can’t believe it has taken this long for Magic: The Gathering to get a multimedia project such as this.
Not sure how much story work is there, but I know some people are going to be very excited.
