Supposedly Matt and Powell’s Captain Planet movie would pick up years after the original TV show, with the eponymous protagonist now a “washed-up has-been” who needs the kids more than they need him.
According to THR, Paramount is partnering with Leonardo DiCaprio’s production company Appian Way Productions to tackle a Captain Planet movie.
So rather than be a full reboot, it would function more as a sequel, though it’s unclear whether that would mean it’s family-friendly or somewhere closer to PG-13 territory.
The report also included a brief synopsis provided by sources.
