Deadline has exclusively revealed that Warner Bros. has optioned the rights to Funko and that the Warner Animation Group is currently working on developing and producing a movie based on the beloved bobblehead collectibles.
After the success of The LEGO Movie, it’s no surprise that Funko is following in its footsteps with its own movie.
Warner Bros. and Funko have had a relationship that has spanned for almost 20 years now and this relationship will only get stronger with the introduction of a Funko movie.
As we know, Funko has a wide and incredible range of figurines from almost any series, movie, or franchise you can think about. That being said, we’re super excited to see what a Funko movie would be like!
According to Deadline, executive VP of the Warner Animation Group, Allison Abbate will oversee the partnership.
Speaking about Funko she said, “Their fresh take on pop culture make these figurines incredibly appealing to fans of all ages.”
Oscar-nominated artist, Teddy Newton, has been tapped to put the story of the Funko movie together alongside Disney Animation director, Mark Dindal.
“We’re thrilled for this opportunity and are committed to make an amazing Funko movie that stands on its own merit,” said Funko CEO Brian Mariotti. “This isn’t about selling toys or building a brand. The team at Warner Animation Group have a unique vision of what the first film should be and we are extremely excited to take this journey alongside them.”
We’re super excited to see what the Funko movie will bring! We can only imagine how great it’ll be! Which characters would you want to see in the upcoming movie?
