Producer Tsujimoto revealed to MTV that the movie based on the popular action game is being worked on right now, saying: “Yes, actually the Monster Hunter feature film is in the early stages of discussion and development in Hollywood, so watch this space in the future!”

He also gave us a tease of who to expect on the cast, saying: “I do think personally, that because it’s a game that was born in Japan, and such a Japanese phenomenon, even if we make a movie in the West, I would like for there to be at least one Japanese person in it... Me, for example!”

So who could direct it? Jordan Vogt-Roberts, the director of Kong: Skull Island, or Gareth Edwards, who directed 2014’s Godzilla, both have experience with massive monsters… just sayin’!

Monster Hunter: World is out now on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
