Rick and Morty are making their way to the big screen. Jacob Hair, who has directed several episodes in the beloved Adult Swim series since 2019, is in talks to helm an animated feature version for Warner Bros. Plot details are being kept quiet, and the film is still in the early development stage.

This is in addition to the spinoff series President Curtis, featuring voice actor Keith David in the main role, which will premiere soon.

Rick and Morty is co-created by Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland, and centres on inventor Rick Sanchez and his universe-travelling adventures with his grandson, Morty. Roiland originally voiced both titular characters, but Adult Swim cut ties with the co-creator in 2023 following felony domestic abuse charges, which were later dismissed. The roles have since been recast.

The ninth season of the show is premiering this week and has already been renewed through season 12. Jacob Hair serves as supervising director of the show.

Back in 2023, Harmon had spoken with The Hollywood Reporter about his conversations with Warner Bros. executives about a potential movie, stating: “My philosophy would be to just take a Rick and Morty adventure, and spend a bunch of extra money on it and make it 90 minutes long. Not to try to earn its feature status by virtue of canonical dramatic tone shifts or anything like that, but rather to just make it a super badass episode of Rick and Morty.“
