However, with the recent news of a legal dispute between Blake Lively and the production company, the future of the movie is now very much in doubt.

Despite the setback, there is still hope that the movie could be revived at some point in the future, although it is unclear at this stage what form it might take or who would be involved.
For now, the Pac-Man movie remains in limbo, a victim of the often-contentious world of Hollywood deal-making and celebrity lawsuits.
As more information becomes available, fans will be keeping a close eye on developments to see if the movie can be salvaged and brought to the big screen as originally intended.
