Overview
- Warner Bros. Animation confirmed it is developing a new animated ThunderCats movie and revealed the project at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival.
- Director Adam Wingard, who was attached to a separate live-action ThunderCats feature in 2021, has said that his live-action project is still in development and has not been folded into the animated announcement.
- Neither the animated film nor the live-action feature has public release dates, casting details, or announced creative teams, leaving timelines and formats unconfirmed.
- Some reports suggest the animated picture could arrive sooner than the live-action remake, but that timing is speculative and has not been confirmed by the studio.
- The announcement comes against a patchy revival history for the property, including a cancelled 2011 reimagining and the widely panned 2020 ThunderCats Roar, which sets strong fan expectations about tone and fidelity for any new version.
