A Funko Pop Movie Is Rumored To Be In Development At Warner Bros. With An A-List Cast Of Characters
A number of animated shorts have been released featuring Funkos, but a new report claims that the popular collectibles are getting their own movie featuring characters like Darth Vader and Baby Groot...
Whether you love them, hate them, or collect them like a maniac, chances are you'll have heard of Funko Pops. The immensely popular vinyl figures have overtaken comic book stores and you can find ones based on everything from Captain Marvel to Titanic and UFC! Now, a new report claims that a Funko movie is currently in the works from Warner Bros.
As you can see, a leaked image doing the rounds online this weekend seemingly reveals that a Funko movie (which is said to be a hybrid of live-action/animation) is in development at the studio.
Nothing official has been revealed so it's best not to get too excited just in case this has been faked or things don't pan out, but in a later Tweet, this same leaker claimed that the characters "confirmed" for the project include Darth Vader, Deadpool, Hellboy, Harley Quinn, Wonder Woman, Care Bears, My Little Pony, Hello Kitty, and Baby Groot.
If that's accurate, the movie would clearly be reaching out to all fanbases and it's not remotely hard to imagine this being a hit along the lines of something like The LEGO Movie.
The biggest question here, of course, is how all those different licenses could be used in one movie - then again, we saw LEGO Star Wars characters cross paths with the likes of Batman in the aforementioned animated movie from the same studio so it could happen.
As always, we'll keep you guys updated as we have more details.
