Capcom has announced that the rumored live-action Mega Man film, which was hinted at over the summer, is officially going into production: “Catfish” directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman will direct and write the script, but the story is still a secret and there is no indication of how the Blue Bomber will be adapted to the silver screen. “Capcom states that it will be aiming to appeal to a 'diverse audience.'”
This new film endeavor is part of Capcom’s plans to “increase the brand value” of the “Mega Man” series by capitalizing on other visual mediums. There’s already a “Mega Man” animated series airing on Cartoon Network known as “Mega Man: Fully Charged,” and “Mega Man 11” released Oct. 4 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
