• Before the Flood that comes out this month. The Hollywood Reporter says that DiCaprio's production company Appian Way is producing aCaptain Planet movie.
  
  As you may remember from his earworm theme song, Captain Planet is "our hero. Gonna take pollution down to zero." The environmentalism-themed cartoon series from the '90s followed the blue-skinned superhero, who'd be summoned when The Planeteers, a group of multicultural teens who repped earth, fire, wind, water, and heart, shouted, "Let our powers combine!" Then the captain would show up and they'd all yell, "Go, Planet!"

  It's pretty hard to remember anything after that, but suffice to say there was definitely an anti-littering message in there somewhere.
  
  
  
  The script will reportedly be co-written by Glen Powell fromScream Queens. THR writes that there's no word yet on whether or not Powell will also star in the movie, thereby kicking off speculation that Powell will star in the movie. Look at this photo of him and you'll definitely see the possibilities.
  
  This isn't the first time there's been talk of a new Captain Planetproject—Cartoon Network was supposedly working on a movieback in 2011, and Adi Shankar seemed to have a pretty cool idea for a darker Captain Planet last year—but considering the dire environmental situation on planet Earth right now, the character seems more relevant than ever.

Leo has been linked to tons of movies that never come to fruition. I'm sure this is one of them. The show had a limited demographic and that demo is too old to be interested in supporting a Captain Planet film imo. Studios will never get behind it unless they plan to spend 2 years reintroducing the series and seeing how this new generation responds before they think about making this. Highly unlikely.

 

[intruder]

Why would he stoop so low? Dude typically only takes dope scripts

 

[Swirv]

I loved that show. The power is yours! Real spit

 

[At30wecashout]

Manu has legit skills for the game, but fukk his flop antics are so deplorable.

 

[Ol’Otis]

Great cartoon.... That's all I have to say about that

 

[Remote]

So they treating him like Halle Berry.
Get that Oscar and go make the male version of Catwoman.

Limited demographic???? It's about the environment. You aren't introducing a totally new concept to people. This is like peddling Smokey the Bear for Forest Fires or the DARE Lion for drugs. Attaching a cartoon/mascot to a cause is not limited and again smokey and the DAre lion have gone thru about 2 generations of children now.

People dont even remember that was the main theme of Capn Planet really though bruh. Captain Planet is only known by 28+yr old people and we not going to watch no Captain Planet movie in 2016, '17 or '18. "Saving the Environment" aint gonna sell tickets. Even less people will care about a movie about saving the environment than they would about a early 90s cartoon based on a superhero who was saving the environment. Don't ask me how.

I'll stick with this version

Maybe because he is doing this save the environment campaign.

[Geek Nasty]

Capt planet was the gayest cartoon of all time next to Heman.
