A newly released Futurama live-action movie trailer with Ryan Reynolds in the lead role has surfaced online, sparking excitement among fans. The storyline appears to follow Philip J. Fry, a pizza delivery guy who gets accidentally frozen in 1999 and wakes up on New Year’s Eve in 2999. However, fans are left wondering if the trailer is the real deal or simply a clever fan-made project.
So, here’s everything you need to know about the rumored Ryan Reynolds live-action Futurama movie trailer.
Is the live-action Futurama movie trailer for 2025 real or fake?
No, the Futurama live-action movie trailer featuring Ryan Reynolds is AI-generated and fan-made.
On Thursday, September 19, 2024, Multiverse of Movies, a noted YouTube channel that shares fan-made trailers, unveiled its latest creation. The trailer has already garnered more than 158,415 views and 3.2K likes, as of writing.
Check out the trailer below:
The trailer presents a blend of vintage clips and AI-crafted imagery, offering a new perspective on Futurama’s Philip J. Fry alongside Brie Larson as the iconic one-eyed Turanga Leela. It also nods to classic Futurama ideas, all rendered with stunning CGI. Many fans find it challenging to tell apart the authentic footage from the digitally created elements in this intriguing combination. However, it’s important to note that Ryan Reynolds and Chris Hemsworth are not reprising their roles in this fictional project.
Will Ryan Reynolds appear in a live-action Futurama movie?
Currently, there are no publicly announced plans for a live-action Futurama film featuring Ryan Reynolds.
Earlier, the franchise already had its first full-length movie back in 2007 with the animated movie called Bender’s Big Score. But considering how long it’s been around and how much fans love it, another movie in that universe could be on the horizon.
The visuals of Reynolds and the rest of the cast in this latest trailer are unmistakably created by AI, much like the narration from the Deadpool star that recounts the film’s storyline. There hasn’t been any official word from Reynolds or anybody else for this movie (via TheDirect).
However, it’s quite easy to spot trailers that come from generative AI, characterized by their slow-moving, mostly static images that lack genuine motion. For now, fans just have to keep their fingers crossed and wait for the day they can see Futurama hit the big screen again.
All the latest episodes of the adult-animated TV series Futurama Season 12 are online via Hulu.
