As well as “Super Mario Bros. The Movie”, from 2023, the Long newly released “A Minecraft Movie” apparently came out of nowhere and won the Gold at the ticket offices.
But no one should be surprised: video game adaptations are becoming an increasingly vital part of the market, and some say they are about to replace superheroes as “the dominant intellectual property of.”
Not every popular game adaptation is a guarantee of success – just see “Borderlands: The Destiny of the Universe is at stake”, released last year, as well as “Uncharted: Out of Map” (2022) and the “Tomb Raider: The Origin” (2018) reboot. Critics and fans pointed out that these movies failed to capture the story and magic of the original experience of the games.
On the other hand, the adaptations that work, as expected, are generating continuation and new seasons for TV, with new confirmed chapters of “Super Mario Bros. The Movie”, “Mortal Kombat”, “Sonic: The Movie”, “Angry Birds – The Movie” and many others. (Bonus: The long -awaited season of “” debut this weekend.)
And what else comes out there in the universe of game adaptations? Here are some of the next electronic game -based movies and series, without a specific order:
“The Legend of Zelda” (2027)
The announcement that this iconic franchise-known simply as “Zelda”-will win a live-action movie in 2027 almost broke the internet last month. And no wonder: the games in the series are at the same level of importance as those of Super Mario Bros. The film will be directed by Wes Ball, responsible for the film franchise “Maze Runner: Run or die”.
“Until Dawn” (April 24)
Like other following titles, such as “Five Nights at Freddy’s – The Endless Nightmare” and “Terror in Silent Hill,“ Until Dawn ”shows how horror combines perfectly with the gaming universe.
The game became a frightening movie that opens later this month, starring Odessa A’zion (from the reboot of “Hellraiser: Reborn from Hell, 2022). The plot follows a group trapped in a temporal looping that needs to survive until dawn. Mixture of “Time Spell”, “The Secret of the Cabin” and a touch of “13 Ghosts”.
“Five Nights at Freddy’s 2” (December 5)
The adaptation of “Five Nights at Freddy’s – The Endless Nightmare,” launched in 2023, was a success, capitalizing on the popularity of the survival game.
Now the sequel brings back Josh Hutcherson, Piper Rubio and the veteran of “Panic”, Matthew Lillard, as well as the cast like McKenna Grace and Wayne Knight (from “Jurassic Park” and “Seinfeld”).
“Return to Silent Hill” (sem data confirmada)

Pokémon sequence: Detective Pikachu ”(no confirmed date)

“God of war: Ragrock” (alhiamine is the cormayma)

“Stray” (no confirmed date)
What could be better than exploring a dystopian cyberpunk city in the skin of a nice cat trying to go home? Yes – remember a little flow, the Oscar winner for best animation this year.
