In the production.
Netflix has previously announced an anime adaptation of MTG.
Netflix also announced the anime adaptation of “MTG” in June 2019. Initially, it was thought that the Russo brothers, who worked on the Avengers series, would direct the work. In August 2021, it was reported that the work was scheduled to be released in 2022 and that Brandon Routh, who starred in the movie Superman Returns, would play the role of Gideon Jura.
However, there was no news for several years after that. In September 2024, the American entertainment news site Collider reported that the production of the work had been canceled.
Could there be someone like “Ajani” or “Chandra Nalaar”?
Netflix has once again started an anime adaptation of MTG. The old anime series, which was supposedly canceled, was introduced as “a completely new story with familiar characters in the lead roles but with revamped characters.” But what kind of story will it tell? The teaser visual released simultaneously shows silhouettes of popular characters Ajani and Chandra Nalaar.
