The Big Picture Fans of the eco-warrior superhero Captain Planet have been eagerly awaiting updates on the long-gestating film adaptation, and star-writer Glen Powell has recently provided some hope. In an interview with Collider's Perri Nemiroff, conducted alongside Adria Arjona while promoting their movie Hit Man, Powell shared his ongoing passion for the project. When asked about the future of the Captain Planet movie, Powell's enthusiasm was palpable.
During a previous conversation with ET, Powell highlighted the shared passion between himself and DiCaprio for the environmentally-focused superhero. "I know DiCaprio is super passionate about it. I'm super passionate about it. I think it could be great... I want that one to work. I'd love to play that superhero," he said. Given DiCaprio's well-known advocacy for environmental causes, his involvement in the Captain Planet movie is a natural fit.
The series boasted an impressive roster of voice talent, including Meg Ryan, Whoopi Goldberg, Martin Sheen, Jeff Goldblum, and LeVar Burton. Running for six seasons from 1990 to 1996, the show produced 113 episodes and left a lasting impact on its audience, many of whom are now eager to see Captain Planet's return.
