The Mega Man Live-Action Movie is Probably Shelved

Back in October 2018, Capcom announced a live-action movie revolving around the Blue Bomber tentatively titled "Mega Man". It was intended to be produced by Masi Oka and written and directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, respectively. Since then, no major updates on the flick had emerged until this past Tuesday.

Following Disney's acquisition of 21st Century Fox, news recently surfaced from Variety that Disney would be making some big changes, including a major refocus of Fox's movie projections and a complete overhaul of their upcoming projects. Only a few of the projects projected over the next five years remain: remakes of Home Alone, Night at the Museum, Cheaper by the Dozen, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and a slate of unannounced superhero projects. Of the 250 projected films removed from the road map, Mega Man was included.

It is important to note, while it looks as if the Mega Man movie was shelved, it is potentially possible for another studio to pick up the project. Disney has no legal ownership of the movie's theatrical rights, mind you. Capcom and the creative team behind the project could be shopping it around as we speak.

Should more news surface in the future, we'll be sure to let everyone know!

Capcom to Close Off 30th Anniversary With "Rockman Goods Festa"

Rockman's 30th anniversary is winding down and Capcom intend to close it off in style. The house that built the blue bomber has announced the "Rockman 30th Anniversay Goods Festa", an event planned to take place in 13 different stores across Japan and the Hanayashiki Park (where Rockman Unite Final is happening).

At the Good Festa, fans can buy new and exclusive Rockman items and visit a mini museum with artwork from the entire franchise. There's even some unseen material from Rockman 11. The mini museum will reportedly be different in each shop so it's recommendable to visit as many stores as possible!

More information and images of the items on sale after the break!

Fan-Favorite Rockman Girls Sing for You in the Final Rockman Unity Wallpaper

The final 30th anniversary commemorative mobile wallpaper from the Rockman Unity app is here. The artist charged with closing things out is none other than Hideki Ishikawa, who is perhaps best known to fans for his work on the Mega Man Legends series. Fans of Mighty No. 9 will also recognize his work for the unused (but still very popular) Call "E" design.

These days, Ishikawa works as a freelancer. He's recently done some designs for toys and provided illustrations for the Pokemon Trading Card Game. It's always good to see his pen go to work on Rockman stuff though. *Clean* Rockman stuff, that is.
