Warner Bros has optioned rights to Funko, and Warner Animation Group will develop and produce a film based on the distinctive collectors figures.

 

For close to 20 years, Warner Bros and Funko have partnered on licensed collectibles from beloved franchises including Batman and Harry Potter. Taking an option on motion picture rights, Warner Bros moves its Funko relationship to a new level.

 

Allison Abbate, Executive VP of Warner Animation Group, will manage the partnership on behalf of the studio. Warner Animation Group’s upcoming releases include Space Jam 2, Scoob and Tom & Jerry.
