Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
Paramount ’s live - actionDungeons & Dragonsmay soon be directed byNightwing ’s Chris McKay . The studio is currently working on design to make a potential cinematic universe involve Hasbro toy , which would at long last bring the board top biz back to the big screen door . These plans currently include a creation whereG.I. Joe , Micronauts , possiblyTransformers , and more will coexist . One of the other project want for the universe isDungeons & Dragons , which antecedently bet on out a 2021 release engagement .
For a project that is presently over three years aside from hitting theaters , there has n’t been much buzz about what a potentialDungeons & Dragonsmovie could look like . But , one of the bountiful counselor for the movie has actually been Joe Manganiello , whohelped developDungeons & Dragons ' scriptthat came out of the Hasbro writers elbow room . And now , it looks like it ’s taking its first step forward by secure a conductor .

Varietyreports thatThe LEGO Batman Moviedirector Chris McKay is in early negotiations to helmDungeons & Dragonsfor Paramount . Should his deal close , he ’ll work based off a book from David Leslie Johnson ( The conjury 2 ) , which is being rewritten by Michael Gillio . It will reportedly be one of the first film to total out of Hasbro ’s new movie studio apartment , AllSpark Pictures .
Potentially landing McKay at this microscope stage could indicate thatDungeons & Dragonscould be well ahead of the other Hasbro - associate projects Paramount is develop . Despite a newG.I. JoeandMicronautshaving earlier release dates pegged , neither of those moving picture have theatre director yet . This could once again be an example of a studio apartment announcing long - term design prematurely , and then shuffle their plan as they actually lessen into place . That is all under the assumption that McKay ’s deal does shut , which appears likely at this period .
McKay is just a year absent from directingLEGO Batman , but he has n’t done anything since . He was quickly swooped up by Warner Bros. to develop a live - actionNightwingmovie , but he ’s insistedthey’re taking their time with that DC moving-picture show . If that ’s the case , then the majority of his schedule should be free to developDungeons & Dragonsin a more proactive way , whether that ’s for the planned 2021 release or earlier . It ’d also mark a big transition for McKay , as he jumps from animation to a potentially heroic world thatD&Dcould offer . This would undoubtedly delayNightwingfor several years , on the other hand , so this is n’t going to be a move that will please everyone , even if its potentially what is better for McKay ’s vocation right now .
