Monopoly – Margot Robbie

In April 2024, Margot Robbie’s production company, LuckyChap Entertainment, announced plans to produce a live-action adaptation of the classic board game ‘Monopoly’. This move comes on the heels of the immense success of ‘Barbie’, another project helmed by Robbie’s LuckyChap.

Collaboration with Lionsgate and Hasbro

The ‘Monopoly’ film is a collaborative effort between LuckyChap, Lionsgate Films, and Hasbro Entertainment. Lionsgate extended its development rights to the beloved game following its acquisition of eOne in December 2023. Adam Fogelson, chair of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, expressed enthusiasm about working with LuckyChap, stating, “I could not imagine a better production team for this beloved and iconic brand than LuckyChap.”

Plot and Casting Details

While specific plot details remain undisclosed, it’s anticipated that the film will explore the journey of a character from the game’s Baltic Avenue, striving to amass wealth and success. Previous discussions had suggested Kevin Hart in a starring role; however, recent reports indicate he may no longer be attached to the project.

Robbie’s Vision for the Project

Robbie’s involvement as a producer is expected to bring a fresh and engaging perspective to the ‘Monopoly’ narrative. Her track record, highlighted by the global success of ‘Barbie’, has set high expectations for this upcoming adaptation. LuckyChap remarked, “Monopoly is a top property – pun fully intended. Like all of the best IP, this game has resonated worldwide for generations.”

Looking Ahead

As production details continue to unfold, fans and industry observers eagerly anticipate how this adaptation will capture the essence of the iconic board game. The collaboration between LuckyChap, Lionsgate, and Hasbro signifies a commitment to delivering a film that honors the game’s legacy while offering a compelling cinematic experience.
