Netflix is quickly becoming
the source for the revival of your childhood favorites. From a new
She-Ra to a darker
Sabrina the Teenage Witch to the always-impressive
Voltron, many of your favorites growing up are finding new life on the streaming giant. And if current Hollywood rumors are true, the binge-watching platform is about to revive another one of your favorites. According to
IGN MIddle East, a
Thundercats movie is headed to Netflix under the helm of Michael bay and Ryan Reynolds.
Now, it's no surprise that Bay, Reynolds, and Netflix are partnering up. We've known for a while now that a project developed by the pair is on its way to Netflix. That project, so far, has been called
Six Underground. According to early reports. the film was supposed to be about a group of rich people who fake their deaths and fight crime. The project features huge talent like Dave Franco, Mélanie Laurent, Ben Hardy, Corey Hawkins, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo and Adria Arjona. The screenplay was written by
Deadpool and
Zombieland's Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, and the film was to be the beginning of a franchise. However, IGN Middle East's source says that what we know of teh film's story has been a coverup to hide the Netflix's real project,
Thundercats.
If this seems a little suspicious to you, it very well may be. Always remember to take everything with a grain of salt in the world of movie rumors. Otherwise, we all would've been at the premiere of Christopher Nolan's
Nightwing starring Joseph Gordon Levitt. However, IGN Middle East's report does has something going for it. This source, apparently, is the same source that revealed that Simon Pegg would be in
Star Wars Episdoe VII: The Force Awakens. Fans know that, even though he was in a massive costume, Pegg did appear in the film. Still, without an official confirmation from Bay, Reynolds, or Netflix, it's hard to get too excited about a
Thundercats film. Fans of Third Earth will just have to wait and see.
