  "account": "A now-deleted listing for 'Mega Man Legends — New Media' was found on ACTRA Toronto's 'What’s Shooting' page, suggesting a new game, film, or TV series within the franchise is in development. The project is set to begin on September 14, 2026, and conclude on December 1, 2026. Casting for the project is described as \"in-house.\" The ‘New Media’ label is particularly interesting, as it could encompass a wide range of projects, including movies or television series. Given Capcom's recent foray into Hollywood films, a Mega Man Legends movie isn't entirely out of the question. With the successful Resident Evil adaptation by Zach Cregger and the hopes for a sequel to Legendary's Street Fighter film, anticipation is high for a potential screen adaptation of Mega Man. Capcom has been working towards a movie adaptation since 2018, initially handled by 20th Century Fox. However, recent information from 2020 indicates the project is still in production. Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, who were to write and direct the movie, expressed excitement about the project. Additionally, Netflix is reportedly making a live-action film based on Capcom's 2D platformer, which seems unrelated to the other Mega Man projects. The latest listing leaves fans speculating about the nature of the new project, hoping for a Mega Man Legends remake or another title in the series. With the original game released in 1998, a sequel in 2000, and the spin-off The Misadventures of Tron Bonne in 1999, it's plausible that there might be another Mega Man title in the works. After all, remakes of legacy games are proving to be very popular.
