Background
On 17 December 2014, the Intellectual Property Department of 20th Century Fox filed a registration notice for the domain name "megaman-movie.com."

On 2 September 2015, the Hollywood insider website The Tracking Board announced that 20th Century Fox had secured the rights to produce a Mega Man movie adaptation. The film will be produced by Peter Chernin through Chernin Entertainment, with oversight by David Ready and Michael Finfer. Oversight by Fox will be handled by Mike Ireland and Ryan Horrigan.

On 19 July 2017, The Hollywood Reporter reported that the screenwriting team of Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, known for directing Catfish, were in final discussions for writing and directing Mega Man, and that Heroes actor Masi Oka was attached as co-producer.

On August 6, 2019, Disney, who acquired 20th Century Fox nearly five months prior, announced a change in release strategy for the Fox brand involving more direct control from Walt Disney Studios over what films would be green-lit, resulting in almost all Fox films not attached to a release date being shelved indefinitely. The status of the Mega Man film is thus currently unknown.
