Mega Man Legends listing hints at new game, film or TV project in works

A deleted listing for Mega Man Legends — New Media on ACTRA Toronto's What's Shooting page has sparked speculation about a new game, film or TV project. The entry listed a start date of September 14, 2026 and an end date of December 1, 2026, with casting described as in-house. The listing matters because the Legends sub-series has had no new main entry since 2000, and any registered production could signal Capcom's next move for the franchise.

Deleted production entry and key dates

Several publications captured screenshots of the listing before it was removed from the public database. ACTRA Toronto's What's Shooting page compiles ongoing projects registered with the Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists, Canada's performers' union. The Mega Man project's New Media label does not confirm a game is in development, as the term is broad enough to cover games as well as movies or television shows. No studio, cast, format or plot details were included in the information spotted by fans.

Capcom has pursued a screen version of Mega Man for several years. The developer confirmed in 2018 that a movie was being made, initially handled by 20th Century Fox, now 20th Century Studios. In 2020, writers and directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman said the project was still in production, with Joost saying the team was excited and hoped to share news soon. In 2021, Netflix announced a separate live-action film based on Capcom's legacy 2D platformer, which appeared unrelated to the 20th Century project. Capcom has also had recent screen activity around its other properties, including Zach Cregger's Resident Evil adaptation and Legendary's Street Fighter film.

What a Legends return could mean

For players and viewers, the practical question is format. A new Legends game or remake would extend the existing catalog around Mega Man Dual Override, which is coming in 2027, while a film or series would place the property alongside Capcom's wider push into Hollywood adaptations. In either case, production registered in Toronto through late 2026 would point to work happening now rather than a distant plan, affecting expectations for announcements, hiring of performers and production staff, and related merchandise or catalog sales. The in-house casting note suggests closed hiring rather than an open call.

The listing does not prove what is being made or who is making it. It is unclear whether the entry connects to the earlier 20th Century project, the Netflix announcement, or a separate effort, and Capcom has not detailed the format. Fans hoping specifically for a Mega Man Legends remake should treat this as an unconfirmed signal: the original Mega Man Legends launched in 1998, followed by the Tron Bonne spin-off in 1999 and a sequel in 2000, but no new Legends title has been confirmed through this listing.
