Thundercats Movie Poster We Wish Was Official [Exclusive]

[Animous]

A Thundercats movie poster by artists Allan Portilho and Gabriel Rezende has fans wishing it were official. Created by Tobin Wolf, the popular animated series originally ran from 1985 to 1989 and followed a group of feline-like humanoids from the planet Thundera. The cartoon went on to span various video games and comics, though the live-action film got stuck in development hell for several years. That was until Godzilla vs. Kong director, Adam Wingard, signed on to helm the project for Warner Bros.

Wingard is also co-writing the Thundercats movie with his frequent collaborator, Simon Barret, who has teased that fans aren't prepared for what they have planned. Wingard is coming off his successful entry into Legendary's MonsterVerse franchise, which debuted to great success in spite of theaters not yet being fully reopened. Godzilla vs. Kong ended up grossing $467 million worldwide, which broke several pandemic box office records at the time and currently stands at the fourth highest grossing movie of the year. Wingard is now channeling all that momentum into development of the Thundercats movie.

Though there haven't been many updates recently regarding Wingard's live-action movie and its official marketing campaign is still a ways away, artists Allan Portilho and Gabriel Rezende have created a Thundercats poster that will surely have fans wishing it were official. The poster shows Lion-O, the Lord of the ThunderCats, holding the Sword of Omens up over his head towards the sky, a fitting pose for the movie's presumed hero. Check out the poster below:

Fans of the original series have been stoked for live-action movie ever since Wingard was announced as the director, since his status as a life-long Thundercats fan makes him the perfect choice. Wingard began his career with films that could be categorized as mumblecore, later transitioning into horror. After his first shot at helming a major tentpole film was a resounding success, Wingard had the chance to be a little more choosy with his next project for Warner Bros. and quickly settled on a passion project of his.

Fans will more than likely be satisfied with Wingard and Barret's adaptation if it is anything in line with this unofficial poster. It seems to perfectly straddle the line between reimagining the original IP while still paying respect to the source material, and hopefully the film will do the same. Now that the live-action Thundercats movie has secured its writer and director, the next major step in the process will be casting.
