Excitement ripples through social media with rumors of Chris Evans and Rami Malek teaming up for a Stargate movie set to grace theaters in 2024. However, before diving into the anticipation, let’s separate fact from fiction.
A poster circulating primarily on Facebook teases fans with Evans and Malek positioned in front of the iconic Stargate, hinting at ancient Egyptian mysteries. The intriguing poster boldly declares “June 2024,” suggesting a potential release date for this cosmic venture.
Accompanying the poster is a detailed synopsis, introducing Evans as Colonel Jack O’Neil and Malek as Doctor Daniel Jackson. The narrative promises an enthralling journey to Abydos, confronting the formidable Sun God Ra and laying the groundwork for a captivating trilogy.
But, hold your Stargate-loving horses! The poster is a creation of a satirical Facebook page known for crafting faux movie posters. Disheartening for enthusiasts hoping for a reboot, this particular Stargate venture is mere fiction.
However, this doesn’t extinguish the hope for a genuine Stargate revival. Director Roland Emmerich, in 2013, expressed plans to reboot the franchise as a trilogy, proposing a fresh start for the beloved series. Fast forward to 2016, and MGM, in partnership with Warner Bros., aimed to reimagine the Stargate narrative under Emmerich’s direction and Dean Devlin’s production.
Yet, the cosmos had different plans. Devlin revealed in 2016 that the remake had hit roadblocks, acknowledging the challenges of aligning various factors. Despite the setback, Devlin emphasized the importance of preserving the essence of Stargate, expressing reluctance to proceed if there was a risk of deviation from the fan-favorite legacy.
In 2023, Amazon surfaced as a potential player in the Stargate saga’s resurrection, exploring reboot options alongside other iconic franchises. While details remain speculative, the mere mention of Stargate in this context rekindles hope for fans yearning for a return to the cosmic portals.
As Stargate enthusiasts keep their interstellar fingers crossed, the question remains: Will Stargate grace the big screen again? While the satirical poster may be a mirage, the cosmos holds the potential for a genuine Stargate resurgence. Stay tuned as the cosmic gates may yet swing open for a new adventure.
