Hang onto your bananas because DK is coming back to the big screen, as it looks like there is a Donkey Kong movie on the way. That’s right, it seems like the crazed monkey is finally getting his own movie as some eagle-eyed Nintendo fans on Resetera have found that Universal Pictures has registered a movie with US Copyright titled 'Untitled Donkey Kong Project;

In 1983, Universal sued Nintendo, claiming Donkey Kong infringed on its King Kong trademark. Nintendo’s attorney (and future board member,) Howard Lincoln, had to enlist the help of attorney John Kirby for his record of winning big cases, and it paid off big. Universal’s claims that Donkey Kong could be confused with King Kong fell on deaf ears.

Donkey Kong is having a moment. This summer, not only did Mario’s original foe get his first theme park ride in the United States, but he’s also got Donkey Kong Bananza, his own mega game coming to Switch 2 later this week, and he might even be getting a movie sometime in the future.
