If you love the classic first-person shooter icon Duke Nukem<\/a><\/strong> and also happen to be a fan of the Karate Kid<\/em> revival Cobra Kai<\/em>, you might want to read on…<\/p>\n

According to an exclusive from The Hollywood Reporter, Legendary Entertainment (Dune<\/em>, Godzilla<\/em>) has acquired the Duke Nukem rights from Gearbox – signing on Cobra Kai creators Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg as producers. Legendary will also produce – with Marla Studios’ (a studio focused on video game adaptations) Jean Julien Baronet (Assassin’s Creed<\/em>) involved.<\/p>\n

The original Duke Nukem by Apogee Software (3D Realms), made its debut in 1991 and later on helped popularised the first-person shooter series with Duke Nukem 3D<\/strong>. Duke Nukem Forever<\/strong> was announced after this as the next mainline entry but didn’t officially see the light of day until 2011.<\/p>\n

The series is known for its guns, over-the-top humour and adult themes, with the “world’s greatest action hero” Duke saving Earth on a number of occasions from alien invaders. Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour<\/a> was also released on the Switch eShop in 2020.<\/p>\n

Gearbox previously had a Duke Nukem project in development with Paramount. It apparently involved John Cena but came to a halt. It’s now focused on its own Borderlands<\/a><\/strong> adaptation, which is expected to arrive later this year. How would you feel about Duke hitting the big screen?
