‘MacGyver’ Movie and TV Reboot: What We Know

MacGyver is back with a movie reboot and a brand new television show series. Angus MacGyver, from the ’80s TV show, is the secret agent known for making crazy inventions to get himself out of situations using only using objects he finds nearby: a paper clip to defuse a bomb, or maybe just a candlestick, a microphone cord, and a rubber mat to make a defibrillator.

As far as the MacGyver movie goes, we’ll see the return of the series’ creator, Lee David Zlotoff. Neal Moritz, producer of The Fast and the Furious franchise, will join him. So we’re definitely looking at some much-deserved action and explosions here.

About the MacGyver TV show reboot — well, we don’t have many details other than it’ll be produced by CBS. Which could go either way. But this does bring us to our biggest question: Who is going to play Angus MacGyver?

Richard Dean Anderson, who played the original MacGyver, is 66, so we’ll likely see a younger MacGyver. Will the mullet remain? We have so many questions. Who would you like to see in the role?
