Oh they absolutely need the physics-breaking grappling hook, that changes the way it operates depending on plot requirements.
Oh, and balloons, lots and lots and lots of balloons.
This could actually work if they go the way of the Need for Speed movie and try not to directly tie it to any one game’s storyline. Absolute banger of a game universe with plenty of potential for fun.
I’m cautiously optimistic. I’m a big believer that there’s a difference between a “good” movie and a “fun” movie. A Just Cause movie could definitely be fun
Exactly. Some of my favorite movies are not at all masterpieces but you can tell the whole cast and crew are enjoying their time on set. I’m hoping this is that.
Named after a weebo? Yeah, that opinion tracks, then.
I always thought Micheal Bay was perfect for this one. Any story about liberating some random jungle country with explosions. That’s straight up his alley.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The video game from Square Enix and Avalanche Studios has landed at Universal Pictures with Blue Beetle director Ángel Manuel Soto set to helm the adaptation.
Since its 2006 debut, the video game puts players on deadly missions as Rico Rodriguez, an operative who is a regime change specialist.
Armed with a grappling hook and wingsuit, he goes on race-against-time missions to stop The Black Hand, a lethal mercenary group.
A feature adaptation spent the better part of a decade being developed by Constantin Film and saw creatives such as Brad Peyton and Derek Kolstad fly in and out before the rights eventually lapsed.
In 2023 alone, the studio found hits with The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Five Nights at Freddy’s, which grossed over $1.4 billion and $290 million respectively in the global box office.
Soto’s Blue Beetle was the first major superhero movie to center on a Latino hero and garnered positive reviews when it was released last year.
