Rockin’ Robin is heading to a magical world! Maya Hawke has been confirmed to star in the upcoming Magic: The Gathering movie!
Created by Richard Garfield in 1993, Magic: The Gathering is a collectible, tabletop, and digital collectible card game. In Magic, players take on the roles of powerful mages known as "Planeswalkers." Every card drawn functions as a spell that can be wielded strategically in combat. In its 33-year history, Magic: The Gathering has amassed 50 million players around the world. A film adaptation entered development in 2014 but fell through following Disney’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox’s assets in 2019. This current incarnation began development last year with Legendary Entertainment producing and Noah Gardner and Aidan Fitzgerald writing. Award-winning filmmaker Matt Johnson confirmed this year that he will helm the project. Johnson, an avid fan of Magic, is best known for directing and co-writing the critically acclaimed films BlackBerry, Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie, and Tony. Johnson will also co-write the screenplay.
The daughter of actors Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, Maya Hawke made her acting debut playing Jo March in the BBC adaptation of Little Women in 2017. In 2019, Hawke appeared as Flower Child in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Hawke’s other notable acting roles include Eleanor Levetan in Do Revenge, Flannery O’Connor in Wildcat, Jamie Bernstein in Maestro, and Anxiety in Inside Out 2. Above all, Hawke is best known for playing Robin Buckley in the hit Netflix series Stranger Things. Hawke’s performance has been the constant source of critical acclaim and is one of the show’s most iconic and beloved characters. Hawke recently played Wiress in The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping.
