Duke Nukem Animated Series in the Works

Writes Esquire regarding Adi Shankaracharya of Netflix fame:

 

What do you have coming next?

 

Shankaracharya: I got video games in production. Obviously more Devil May Cry. I’m being approached with different IPs and companies that want to work with me. I bought the rights to Duke Nukem. Not the gaming rights, but I bought it from Gearbox.

 

What’s your vision for Duke Nukem?

 

Shankaracharya: It’s a middle finger to everybody. When Duke Nukem blew up, a bunch of people sat around trying to turn it into a brand, when it’s just a middle finger. Duke Nukem can’t be made by a corporation, because the moment a corporation makes Duke Nukem, it’s no longer Duke Nukem. I don’t intend on having anyone tell me what to do on this one.
