Maya Hawke Is the Magic Movie’s First Announced Cast Member

Mark Rosewater said Maya Hawke was the Magic movie’s first announced cast member in a November 10, 2026 Blogatog answer to a question about whether the film was still happening. Rosewater’s Blogatog post did not give a casting date. Trade-press reports published November 4, 2026 reported Hawke’s casting, but do not establish that Legendary or Hasbro made a direct announcement. TheWrap’s report was among them.

Hawke’s character has not been disclosed. The A.V. Club’s report said her role was expected to be a key one in an ensemble. Matt Johnson is named as director and co-writer, alongside Noah Gardner and Aidan Fitzgerald; no release date has been reported. November 5 coverage said the film had moved out of pre-production, without giving a production schedule. EDHREC’s coverage reported that update.
