MacGyver: What You Didn’t Know About The Classic Show

MacGyver Almost Made It to the Big Screen

You may have heard of director James Wan…you know, the man behind the billion-dollar Fast and Furious franchise. While directing the most recent installment of the Fast and Furious was a wise choice (it made over $1 billion globally), Wan almost committed to taking on a MacGyver move adaptation.

In an interview with CraveOnline, Wan said, ” “My initial concept was I wanted to do a young college MacGyver who went to Boston, one of the great universities, who’s really brilliant, right? He gets blamed for something that he had designed, something really big that’s something everyone wanted, and now someone has weaponized it and everyone’s coming after him.”
