Maya Hawke casts the first spell: boards Legendary and Hasbro's Magic: The Gathering movie
By Fuzzy Mushroom · Published
Stranger Things star Maya Hawke is the first big name attached to Legendary Entertainment and Hasbro Entertainment's live-action Magic: The Gathering film, Deadline reports, with Variety, The Hollywood Reporter and TheWrap matching. Her role is under wraps, but she is expected to anchor a still-to-be-cast ensemble; BlackBerry's Matt Johnson directs and co-writes with Noah Gardner and Aidan Fitzgerald. Producers made her the priority first offer as they build a Magic film and TV universe around the 50-million-fan card game.
Planeswalker or red herring — does Hawke make you shuffle up for Magic on the big screen?
