“Bakugan is a worldwide franchise with a dedicated, multi-generational fanbase, driven by its captivating characters and action-packed battles. As fans who were part of its initial craze now enter adulthood, we are thrilled to be working with accomplished filmmaking talent like Brad to reimagine Bakugan in live action, expanding the franchise for fans while introducing it to new audiences around the world.” said Jennifer Dodge, president of Spin Master Entertainment.
Peyton, known for major blockbusters like San Andreas and Rampage, both starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, shared his thoughts on the project:
“Bakugan is ready for the film treatment, and I’m thrilled to be the one to bring it to the big screen for the very first time. With Lindsay and the Spin Master team alongside me, we’re excited to build a hit franchise with global appeal. I am confident we will create a must-see film event that does justice to the unique and epic world that is Bakugan.”
