Thor’s Taika Waititi Developing Flash Gordon Animated Film
Filmmaker Taika Waititi is reportedly looking to "crack" the long-gestating big screen return of sci-fi icon Flash Gordon as an animated feature film rather than live-action.
Deadline claims they've heard Waititi is going to write and direct the film for Disney/Fox, but his camp tells the site "it’s too early to gauge exactly what his role would be."
Created by Alex Raymond, Flash Gordon was a Depression-era hero of comic strips and big screen serials who spawned live-action and animated TV incarnations in the ensuing decades as well as a cult classic 1980 movie (which was paid tribute to in Seth MacFarlane's Ted) and further comics series. Flash Gordon was also a huge influence on Star Wars.

Via Reddit, user u/CaptainGJB direct messaged Sasko on Twitter and asked him if it would be possible to "have a character with every stat/ability maxed out, or will it be closer to
in that there's limited upgrade slots?"
Sasko answered that, while they are still working on character progression and it may change in time, "most likely it won't be possible to max out everything on 1 playthrough, as it would have little sens to have a game that is about replayability and choices, while in the same time allow the players to max out all the stats on the first run :)"
