A new Dungeons & Dragons movie looked ready to take wing last year, when Ansel Elgort signed on to the Rob Letterman-helmed adaptation from Warner Bros. And while Joe Manganiello could have looked into joining that production to satisfy his D&D proclivities, he’s instead rolling for initiative with his own project. The Magic Mike XXL star told MTV’s Happy Sad Confused podcast that he’s co-written a D&D movie with a “playwright friend from Carnegie Mellon,” which practically guarantees a great soliloquy from a dark elf. Manganiello says he’s met with folks at D&D publisher Wizards Of The Coast about his film treatment, though he didn’t indicate whether they’d joined his campaign.
