‘Monster Hunter’ Movie Posters Sure Are Big and Dumb

Monster Hunter has been massively popular in Japan for years but it wasn’t until 2018’s smash hit Monster Hunter: World that the Capcom franchise went from niche hit to a truly global phenomenon. Maybe it’s because they almost made a playable game for once.

Regardless, Monster Hunter is as big as it has ever been. So it’s time for it to come to the big screen. Check out these first posters for the upcoming Monster Hunter movie!

I’ll give it this. The most fun and visually striking part of Monster Hunter is making huge dumb weapons out of pieces of the monsters you hunt. And these definitely look like those big dumb weapons. For anyone curious, it’s a Giant Jawblade and Great Hunter’s Bow.

If you’re wondering who would be mad enough to attempt a Hollywood movie version of Monster Hunter, it’s Paul W.S. Anderson. After all, he’s already had great schlocky success adapting Capcom games with the epic Resident Evil cinematic saga. And since there’s no need to mess with a winning formula, Monster Hunter also stars kick-ass action heroine (and Anderson’s wife) Milla Jovovich. She plays, like, an army lady who gets stranded in Monster Hunter world? Ong Bak’s Tony Jaa, also seen in these posters, plays the native hunter who helps her out.

Monster Hunter: The Movie comes to theaters this September. Will Rathalos be in it???  For more on video game movies read our review of Pokemon: Detective Pikachu, learn more about Eli Roth’s upcoming Borderlands movies, and here are other Sega franchises we want to see on the big screen in the wake of Sonic the Hedgehog’s theatrical success.
