ThunderCats film development status

Overview

Director Adam Wingard has confirmed that the ThunderCats film project remains in development. While the project has faced delays and a period of silence, Wingard stated that the adaptation is “not dead” and “still kicking around.”

A new script draft was completed earlier this year by Wingard and co-writer Simon Barrett. However, production was temporarily paused to allow the director to focus on his film, Onslaught.

The project, originally announced by Warner Bros. in 2021, is described as a large-scale fantasy sci-fi spectacle. While one report describes the film as a hybrid CGI production intended to maintain the aesthetic of the original 1980s animated series, other descriptions characterize it as a live-action adaptation.
