The entertainment news source The Hollywood Reporter reported on Wednesday that scriptwriter Mattson Tomlin is now penning a script for the planned live-action film project of CAPCOM’s Mega Man game franchise.
The Mega Man franchise (known as Rock Man in Japan) began in 1987 with CAPCOM’s release of the first Mega Man game on the Nintendo Famicom.
The franchise has since spawned numerous games, with the latest in the main series, Mega Man 11, released in North America in October 2018.
The Mega Man Zero / ZX Legacy Collection launched for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam on January 21.
