The writer behind Lightbeam Entertainment and Wayfarer Studios' live-action Pac-Man movie has been confirmed.
Seasoned film, television, animation, and comic book writer Christopher Yost has been revealed as the scribe behind the forthcoming movie, which was confirmed back in 2022.
Yost is perhaps most famous for his work within the Marvel Cinematic Universe; he has writing credits on Thor: The Dark World and Thor: Ragnarok.
However, his range extends beyond superheroes. Yost acted as both an Executive Consultant and writer on the Disney+ Star Wars series The Mandalorian and was an Executive Producer and writer on Netflix's 2021 adaption of Cowboy Bebop.
Based on the Namco arcade game of the same name, the Pac-Man movie is based on an original idea by Lightbeam's Chuck Williams (who also worked as a producer on the Sonic the Hedgehog movie).
Williams and Andrew Lazar have been confirmed as the movie's producers.

Oh hey a cowboy bebop write-
(The 2021 Netflix adaptation)
O H
Cowboy Bebop? Can't win 'em all, I guess. Everyone deserves a second chance, so they say.
I could be very wrong, but it seems like whoever announced this film doesn't know what "live action" means, or at least Is stretching it's meaning to its extreme limit.
Uh... well... I greatly dislike the terrible Marvel Cinematic Universe so I'm not expecting much here, and the first Sonic movie was barely average, but let's hope Pac-Man at least meets that bar.
If its as good as the second Sonic movie, then yeah, looking forward to it!
Sounds like I have no interest in this movie then
Welp. Looks like the first trailer is going to the decider if this will be good or bad.
Does the world really need a frikin pac-man movie? This just feels like a shameless cash grab after the success of the Mario and Sonic movies.
A movie about a glutton (or worse, a drug junkie) being forced to eat his way through a dark maze while being pursued by hostile spirits?
Sounds like a horror movie.
I will give this a view, but still….
”Executive Producer and writer on Netflix's 2021 adaption of Cowboy Bebop.”
