Warner Bros. Animation has reportedly been developing a feature film based on the ubiquitous Funko Pop figures property since late 2019.
This week, speaking at San Diego Comic-Con on preview night, Funko CEO Andrew Perlmutter revealed the project could potentially turn into a streaming series. He tells Variety:
“When you look at some of the Disney+ content, like ‘The Mandalorian’ and these great tentpole streaming shows, I think we’d be happy with either a movie or a streaming show.
I don’t think we have a strong preference anymore. I think if you asked us five years ago, it would have been movie, but I’m not so sure that’s the case anymore.
There is an overwhelming desire from people to participate in the Funko IP, either in TV streaming or movies, and we’re evaluating what the right partnership there is.”
He adds the company is “definitely” not ready to announce anything yet as there’s no timeline. Rather they intend to take whatever time is needed to adapt the property right.
