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.

Clearly Donkey Kong is about to become a big deal again. The Switch 2's Donkey Kong Bananza is out in just three days, July 17, and provides the single-player title the console obviously should have had last month for launch.

As reported by Vooks, Nintendo and Universal have filed with the US Copyright Office for a project called "Untitled Donkey Kong Project; Motion picture," which as the name suggests seems to be a major motion picture based on Donkey Kong.
