Currently, the title remains in development, with both The Initiative and Crystal Dynamics working on the title, the latter of which is still helping co-develop the title despite recently being acquired by Embracer Group.

But we’ve got to make sure that comes forward in the right way.” “That’s a cool meme, it’s something people want to lean into. With the Certain Affinity studio reportedly assisting with development, is a 2023 launch on the cards. “What’s super cool about Perfect Dark, about Joanna Dark, is the super agent fantasy, The Bourne Identity, James Bond kind of thing,” Booty described. By James Wright Credit: Crystal Dynamics Latest Update, July 25 2022: There are still no signs of the Perfect Dark reboot launching despite many hoping it will arrive at some point in 2022. “You’ve got this veteran team at Crystal Dynamics, a big AAA team with over a hundred people that becomes available - of course we want to work with them, particularly if they’ve made a game like that before.”īooty also compared the game to franchises like The Bourne Identity and James Bond. “We just did this big partnership with Crystal Dynamics and I read online that this must mean there’s a problem. He proceeded to say that it made perfect sense for Xbox to partner with a studio that has a history of making games similar to what Perfect Dark is striving to be. The Perfect Dark reboot was first announced at The Game Awards 2020 as a first-person shooter with an 'eco sci-fi' theme. Booty went on to note that he had seen the rumors floating around online but insisted they were just that. Then again, Ezra Miller is said to be superb as two different versions of Barry Allen (who share the screen for much of the film’s run-time) in. And you just know that’s got to be lurking somewhere in the dark corners of the MCU writers’ room, a button to be pushed when times get really tough (or several Marvel movies in a row fail to score at least a billion dollars at the box office.) The only issue is that Marvel would no longer have the option in its back pocket of restoring Downey Jr as an alternate reality version of Stark in a future movie. And if you’re going to roar back to the MCU after playing such a huge part in its success, then surely doing so as a high-profile villain – one that’s never been adequately represented on the big screen – would be the perfect resurrection. Or can you? Marvel’s version of the multiverse would certainly allow Downey Jr to appear as Doctor Doom in the forthcoming, Matt Shakman-directed Fantastic Four reboot. Some were hoping to see Tom Cruise as Tony Stark/Iron Man, but you can’t have everything. Marvel already gave us John Krasinski as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic in an alternate version of reality visited by the one-time sorcerer supreme in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, largely because fans had clamoured for the casting.

A Perfect Dark reboot is in store for us from developer The Initiative, which is part of Xbox Game Studios. It’s also possible that taking the role of lead villain in what turned out to be one of the feeblest comic book movies of the era might have scuppered Downey Jr’s career altogether, given the actor’s well-publicised struggles during the period immediately before his casting as Tony Stark. Insider Miller Ross, who correctly anticipated that Crystal Dynamics was about to halt any further. After all, Story’s Johnny Storm/Human Torch, Chris Evans, ended up being cast as Captain America in the MCU, and lasted for many years. Unfortunately, the development of the Perfect Dark reboot encountered some troubles on the way. It’s not impossible, given how rapidly the Marvel setup was changing in the 00s (from hands-off rights holder in the early part of the decade to fully fledged mini-studio by the end) that Downey Jr might still have wound up taking the role of Iron Man.
