The one true Duke.

I wouldn't be surprised if you don't know who Duke Nukem is, that's how bad the video game franchise was a decade ago. The character is mostly known as a joke for video game jokes about how Duke Nukem Forever spent 14 years in development hell and ended up being a flop.

The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that a feature film is in the works, and that it will be produced by the creators of Cobra Kai.

I don't know how to respond. I agree with you that this movie should never be made because Duke Nukem is a caricature and has no depth or story. There is a famous quote about coming to kick ass and chewing bubblegum and being all out of gum. It is from the movies that they based him on.

Go watch Cobra Kai before you tell me it’ll definitely suck

Do you know if you can call the Karate Kid spinoff Cobra Kai a sequel? We were skeptical at first, but after a few episodes they found something worthwhile to watch.

These people are the only ones who can redeem an old embarrassingly machismo franchise that has become irrelevant to the modern era. They've got a lot of stuff.

The previous producers attached to a Duke Nukem movie, back when John Cena was going to star, also understood he was going to be a tough sell, and admitted they werestruggling. There were previous attempts at making a Duke Nukem movie.

Plans for a film have been off and on since the beginning of the year, possibly due to the status of the duke nukem intellectual property rights. The Embracer Group, which just this week saw Saudi Arabia purchase a $1 billion stake in the company, also bought the owner of 3D Realms last August. Rock Paper Shotgun points out that, prior to that, Gearbox and 3D Realms had fought for the better part of a decade over who actually owned which parts of Duke Nukem.

I don't know which Duke will come back. There was a time when Duke Nukem 3D wasn't as bad as it is today. The turkey leg that you shot with a laser pistol turned into an entire turkey when you ate it. The days were like that.
