A new rumor has surfaced about the next major videogame franchise Nintendo will be bringing to the big screen after Mario and Zelda.

Movie leaker VScooper is claiming that Nintendo is in the process of pitching a film adaptation of Metroid. According to VScooper, Sony and Universal and in a tight competition to acquire the rights to make the film, which is currently trending towards Live-Action like the Legend Of Zelda movie.

Metroid, last I heard a few months ago, was still in a bit of a push between studios, no updates since

Sony is one of the stronger contenders for Metroid, Universal is also fighting for it, both are leaning for live action but this could change

As with all rumors of this nature, we caution readers to take this with a grain of salt. Stay tuned for more updates as they come.
