Published , by Morgan Shaver

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.
