Recent rumors suggest a 2025 live-action ThunderCats movie, based on the 1980s animated series, could be in the works. Despite past failed attempts, excitement is building for a potential revival of the superhero group on the big screen.

Speculation

Speculation surrounding a live-action ThunderCats film in 2025 has intensified, fueled by fan-made trailers and concepts. One YouTube trailer, garnering over 1 million views, showcases a cast including Henry Cavill and Liam Neeson dressed as ThunderCats characters. However, these creations are not official and are purely fan-generated.

Possibility
While these fan-made concepts are not official, the idea of a ThunderCats movie is not far-fetched. Deadline reported in 2021 that Adam Wingard, known for directing Godzilla vs Kong, was set to direct a ThunderCats film for Warner Bros. with producers Dan Lin and Roy Lee. David Coggeshall reportedly penned the first draft of the script, which was to be reworked by Wingard and Simon Barrett.

Director's Vision
In an interview, Wingard expressed his desire to maintain the original '80s aesthetic of ThunderCats, opting for a "hyper-real look" that blends cartoon and CGI. He emphasized not wanting to mimic the live-action film Cats, but rather to stay true to the ThunderCats' appearance.

Production Update
Although Wingard's focus shifted to Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, ThunderCats remains on his radar. He mentioned actively working on a script, indicating progress, but without specifics on a release date or casting details.
