It has been reported that Netflix will be distributing the upcoming years-in-development live-action adaptation of Mega Man, a report that is certain to make people concerned for another beloved series as Netflix has no shortage of horrible live action productions (with live action often being a death sentence for games and anime, regardless of Netflix).
A Twitter user shared the news in a tweet that garnered some attention, informing Mega Man fans of what was to come:
Further information on the live action production was provided:
In 2020, Chernin Entertainment signed a “first look” deal with Netflix. This meant that Netflix would become the exclusive home for Chernin’s upcoming film slate. We assumed the live-action Mega Man adaptation was part of the deal. Nothing was outright confirmed at the time, though.
[….]
Supermarché is the production company behind the movie. It’s operated by director-writer duo Henry Joost and Ariel “Rel” Schulman who serve as the film’s directors. The Batman’s Mattson Tomlin was brought on board in early 2020 to pen the script with Masi Oka attached as lead producer.
No word when this thing is coming out, though. Not only has Mega Man yet to actually shoot but it wasn’t included in Netflix’s 2022 sci-fi, fantasy, horror slate. That’s a relatively solid indicator how far off we are. I wouldn’t expect it until 2023 the earliest.
The section they’re mentioning comes from Supermarché’s own site, that has a small paragraph that mentions Mega Man by name:
Henry, Rel, and their in-house producer Orlee-Rose Strauss maintain an active development slate. Features in the works include: an adaptation of Capcom’s MEGA MAN for Chernin Entertainment and Netflix, which they wrote and are directing; NEMESIS, based on the Mark Millar comic, produced by Jules Daly and Sue Kroll for Warner Bros.; an adaptation of Edward Abbey’s novel THE MONKEY WRENCH GANG, produced by Ed Pressman, which they wrote and are directing; and RUNAWAY, a family adventure comedy based on a true story, screenplay adapted by Brendan O’Brien and produced by Matt Kaplan.
And it’s guaranteed to be garbage
Mega man played by jewish actor. Roll played by a fake blonde bombo. Shoed-in black friend or mentor character. It already sucks.
you are suck!
F off jew
Nigga man
BRAKUMAN!
Why do you guys misspell “n♥♥♥♥r”?
It’s what they call each other. We want to be respectful so we’re using nigga like they do.
super robbing dindu
your comment is garbage
guaranteed you’re a fagot
Because Capcom has no idea what to do with the franchise, so they will let Netflix ruin the hell out of it with a live action piece of s♥♥t. Awesome idea.
Is MegaMan gonna be a MegaWahman or some fucked up retardation? Maybe MegaBlack? MegaTrans? MegaGay? MegaSomeOtherLGBTABDC+-/?
Capcom has already sold out to the woke agenda for quite a while now. They actually want Netflix to f♥♥k it up and turn it into the woke garbage that these adaptations usually end up as.
paranoid and sociopathic who sees everywhere “woke” n°2……

Do not forget to drink your soy milk to suppress “toxic masculinity”, check your “white CIS-gender privileges”, apologize for your “white guilt”, kneel before BLM-terrorist gangs and suck the “woman penis”of your black non-binary trans”woman”.
Trans “women” are women, right, crazy soy “woke” degenerate?
Incel makes vague complaint about woke! *drinks*
paranoid and sociopathic who sees everywhere “woke”
Brainwashed “woke” degenerate who denies objective reality where all media food has turned into degenerate anti-human propaganda of the western far-leftist “woke agenda” how many shekels do you get paid for your work as a troll on the Internet?
however it will be less megagay than you
The producer is the asian guy from Heroes and his first production was the actual Netflix Death Note.
He is producing with two directors who have only directed a actual dozen horror films including Paranormal Activity 3 & 4 and a couple chick flicks. The script writer does Drama/Romance…
This is possibly gunna top Death Note for the worst adaptation of all time. I can’t wait for the fallout. Although a Mega Man horror romance movie does sound slightly interesting…
f♥♥k YOU
Oh no netflix shill.
More like Mega Ma’am.
I do not even have a clue about megaman and I still grieve
Peak zoomer right here
You move right and shoot robots.
Obviously needs to be re-imagined to address its problematic elements in Current Year.
What problematic elements are we talkin, here? No “trans”formers? The lack of female Robot Master representation despite having Honey Woman and Splash Woman?
