Some of you might be a bit young to remember Captain Planet, but the cartoon was very popular when it ran from 1990 to 1992, and still maintains a bit of a following. The show focused on 5 teens from around the globe who could control the elements, and once their powers were combined they were able to summon Captain Planet - a superhero who battled against pollution in an effort to cleanse the environment.

The property was actually in development at Sony a few years ago but that fell through, and now THR reports that Paramount Pictures and Appian Way will team with writing duo Jono Matt and Glen Powell to finally bring the colorful characters to the big screen.

No details on cast or director yet, but Powell and Matt are said to have a very interesting take on the story: apparently the film would take place "years after the adventures of the show, with the Captain now a washed up hasbeen who needs the kids more than they need him."

What do you guys think? Like the idea of a Captain Planet movie? Sound off below.

That sounds horrible, honestly. I would much prefer a spin on the existing characters than that mess of a plot.

Don Cheadle is the only choice. Either him or Christian Bale are acceptable
