Mega Man Legends New Media Project Spotted on Union Site Before Deletion

A listing for a project called 'Mega Man Legends New Media' briefly appeared on the ACTRA Toronto website before being scrubbed, as reported by IGN and Kotaku. The Canadian performers' union page listed a start date of September 14, 2026 and an end date of December 1, 2026, with casting noted as 'in house'.

The 'New Media' label is vague, leaving it unclear if the project is a game, film, or TV series. According to IGN, ACTRA's 'What's Shooting' page compiles registered projects, and the listing's quick removal has fueled speculation. Kotaku notes the original Mega Man Legends English dub was recorded in Ontario, suggesting a potential reason for the union listing.

Kotaku's report suggests a practical need for new voice work, as one original voice actor, Robert Norman Smith, died in 2020 after being charged with serious crimes. His lines would likely need to be re recorded for any rerelease.

Capcom has multiple Mega Man screen adaptations in various stages, per IGN. A movie was confirmed in 2018, and Netflix announced a separate live action film in 2021. It's unknown if this new listing is related to those projects.

The discovery comes as Capcom prepares for Mega Man's 40th anniversary in 2027, with the game Mega Man Dual Override slated for that year.
