Netflix's Devil May Cry creator says he feels "preemptively bad for the cry babies" after acquiring the rights to video game icon Duke Nukem: "You're not gonna like what I'm gonna do"

Duke Nukem.

Video game icon Duke Nukem might make an unexpected return, as Netflix's Devil May Cry creator Adi Shankar just acquired the rights for a screen adaptation. Now, Shankar was quick to clarify that he doesn't intend to be faithful to what the character stood for back in the '90s, while indulging in a bit of trolling on social media that ruffled some feathers among certain fans.

"I feel preemptively bad for the cry babies," he wrote on Twitter. "I apologize in advance to them… But you're not gonna like what I'm gonna do with Adi Shankar's Duke Nukem," he continued saying that the "brand will be saved" thanks to his vision of Duke Nukem.
