    captain obvious: don't base this on the most recent cartoon show.

    Realistically, I hope that the producers feel free to tweak the costumes and the looks. Base the makeup around the real actors' faces, don't try to force CGI to make it look exactly like the 80s cartoon version.
    There's a lot of bare skin in the original visages of the heroes. We'll see if that manages to stay.

    Considering the, well, formula, of most episodes, I wonder how this will be structured.

    The Wily Kits should be allowed to gradually grow up. Cast middle-school aged kids. Don't cast folks who are pushing 30.

    I'm not hung up on major known actors, whether as heroes or villains.

    A CG-animated theatrical Thundercats movie is in the works from Godzilla Vs. Kong director Adam Wingard.

    Deadline reports that the Thundercats movie adaptation will be a "big-scale feature" based on the original animated series that ran from 1985-1989. Wingard himself describes the animation style as "hybrid CGI" with a "hyper real look [that] somehow bridges the gap between cartoon and CGI."

    "Nobody on this planet knows or has thought as much about ThunderCats as I have," Wingard rather boldly told Deadline. "They gave me the reins. I saw this as an opportunity to do a new type of fantasy sci-fi spectacle film that people have never seen before."

    While much of the specifics around cast and crew are still unknown, Wingard paints a fairly detailed picture of the aesthetic he's aiming for with the Thundercats revival. For Thundercats fans with a particular affection for the original series, Wingard's movie adaptation sounds like good news so far.

    "It's got a rich mythology; the characters are fantastic. The colors. I want to do a ThunderCats film that takes you back to that '80s aesthetic. I don't want to reinvent the way they look; I want them to look like ThunderCats. I don't want to do it live-action, either. I don't want it to look like Cats, I don't want those kinds of issues."

    Wingard is working on a fresh script for Thundercats alongside frequent collaborator Simon Barrett (The Guest, Blair Witch, Temple). "Adam and I have been talking about making a Thundercats movie for literally over a decade and the fact that it's actually close to happening is staggering," Barrett wrote on Twitter.

    Here are all of the upcoming movies we can't wait to see in 2021 and beyond.

    No! They need to look exactly like this!

    As long as the voice actor of the Everliving source of evil ,is anywhere close to Earl Hammond, that's a win for me. Still don't get how animations for children could go so dark and creepy.Mumm-ra of the 80's could put some of today's horror movies to shame.Absolute gangster he was

    After seeing GVK I'm hyped for this. Maybe they'll leave snarf out or cut his time to the minimum.

    I agree. He worked better as an animal sidekick than the mother-hen comic relief character. If this were Disney, I'd expect some sort of comedic actor stunt-casting like Jack Black.
