Legendary Entertainment's Duke Nukem movie in the works from the Cobra Kai team
The creators of Cobra Kai are helping produce a Duke Nukem movie adaptation.
Exciting news dropped today for Cobra Kai and Duke Nukem fans, as The Hollywood Reporter shares Legendary Entertainment and Cobra Kai creators Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg are working on a Duke Nukem movie adaptation.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Legendary Entertainment has acquired the rights to create a Duke Nukem film from Gearbox. Producing the film are the aforementioned Cobra Kai creators, with Legendary Entertainment and Jean Julien Baronnet of Marla Studios also tapped to produce.
As of right now, it’s unclear how the film will adapt the popular 1990s first-person shooter, but our curiosity has been sufficiently piqued, and we’re eager to learn more. We're also wondering who'll be tapped to play Duke himself, with previous hints of WWE's John Cena being in talks to take on the role.
While we wait for fresh details on the Duke Nukem movie to drop, what are your thoughts on the announcement? How would you like the movie to be produced?

Evil Dead 2 humour with aliens could work with the right actor but seems like a thin line to balance between crude/unfunny (which DNF fell on the wrong side of too often) and everything else.
Many people have said Duke doesn’t belong in the year 2020.. but someone far more intelligent than me could feasibly make it work (and the concept of a rude asshole with old fashioned belief systems having to re-evaluate those has been done successfully before, but an arc like they in a movie seems too short a time frame) -

Thoughts on if they made it in first person like Hardcore Henry?
I was hoping it would play in theatres but I guess we’ll see!
I’m here to kick ass and eat milk duds, and I’m all outta duds. -
Ha nice I have faith in that team. They really seem to get the balance with Cobra Kai when it comes to Johnny

Timothy Chalamet can get yoked if he wanted to.

Shane Black writes, James Gunn co-writes and directs, Roger Deakins as director of photography, Junkie XL as soundtrack composer.
That's the winning formula, let's go.
