A co-writer of the upcoming sequel to Matt Reeves\u2019 The Batman has remarked that Hollywood\u2019s focus is shifting from comic books to video games.<\/p>\n
At one point, Mattson Tomlin was attached to a Mega Man<\/a> project for the big screen. Recently, he responded on social media to someone who was looking for an update on the project and asked if he was still attached. His response left the project\u2019s status in limbo. Still, he\u2019s not sure he\u2019ll be involved in the project if it moves forward.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t know if it has been canceled or not but it\u2019s definitely not on my dance card anymore. I wrote a fun set of drafts and then I believe another writer came on some years later. Hope it gets made, there was a really emotional and surprising way in.<\/p>\n \u2014 mattson tomlin (@mattsontomlin) July 1, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n The Batman 2 Co-Writer Sees Video Games Leading Hollywood<\/p>\n Furthermore, Mattson Tomlin says he could see the Mega Man project getting made, as video games are emerging as Hollywood\u2019s next major storytelling focus after years of comic book films.<\/p>\n \u201cHollywood is sort of making a shift from being comic book obsessed to video game obsessed so I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if it sees the light of day in some form, but after so much time gone by, it\u2019s unlikely I\u2019ll have anything to do with it,\u201d he said.<\/a><\/p>\n It is true that for the past 20 years, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has dominated Hollywood, and now many projects in both TV and film have emerged that are built around popular video game franchises such as God of War<\/a>, Life Is Strange<\/a>, and more.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n How do you feel about these comments made by Mattson Tomlin?
