Joe Manganiello Set To Co-Direct 'Dungeons & Dragons' Documentary Backed By Hasbro

Joe Manganiello is bringing his love of Dungeons & Dragons to life in a new documentary backed by Hasbro.

According to Variety, the 45-year-old actor will co-direct the pic with Kyle Newman, and it’s billed as “the definitive documentary feature about the world’s greatest roleplaying game”.

“I couldn’t be more proud and excited to get back behind the camera for another documentary, this time with the D&D dream team of Jon, Kyle and my brother and producing partner Nick,” Joe shared in a statement. “I lived through the rise and fall and rise again of this legacy brand that has not only meant so much to me but has served as the fountainhead of creativity for an entire generation of writers, artists and creative minds, influencing so much of our culture.”

The D&D documentary is timed to the 50th anniversary of the game in 2024, and will incorporate more than 400 hours of archived, never-before-seen “Dungeons & Dragons” footage from the game’s creation in the early 1970s.

It will also include interviews with celebrity fans of the game.

Just recently, Joe and fellow celeb D&D fan Stephen Colbert, spoke about their love for the fantasy game. Check it out!
