Lionsgate announced that a movie based on the board game will be written by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, the duo who directed the recent Dungeons & Dragons movie. The film will be produced by game owners Hasbro Entertainment, and Margot Robbie through her production company Lucky Chap.

There have been many attempts over the years to turn the popular game into a film, with the most recent having Kevin Hart attached to star. However, this new incarnation has drawn derision from some users on X (formerly Twitter).

“How TF do you make a movie about Monopoly? What’s next, Hungry Hungry Hippos” replied one, while another asked: “What is the plot even gonna be about?”
