Now, the power to bring this classic 1990s cartoon to movie theaters is in the hands of Leonardo DiCaprio.
The star and environmental activist has inked a deal with Paramount through his Appian Way Productions company to produce a movie based on the cartoon series, which aired from 1990-92, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Another version of the show, "The New Adventures of Captain Planet," aired from 1993-96.
The studio is working to get Jono Matt and Glen Powell to write the script, which could have a plotline in which Captain Planet is washed up after not succeeding in his mission to reduce pollution to zero.
