The live-action Jonny Quest movie has been rumoured since 2018 when The Lego Batman director Chris McKay had replaced Robert Rodriguez.
The live-action film is still a long way off.

What I like about Jonny Quest is that it's kind of a family that you make. We have all of your favorite Jonny Quest characters, and then some deep dives. Jonny is a character who experienced grief. His mother died, and it's about how the people around you can help you overcome grief. At the end of the day there is something about that."
But it's also very Raiders of the Lost Ark. It's a world-hopping movie looking for a real-world artifact to stop a big global catastrophe. I really love the characters, and I really love the relationships in Jonny Quest. The writers did an amazing job. And I'm hoping that WB wants to make that movie really soon because it's going to be really cool, it's going to be a big movie like Tomorrow War, it's going to be a big-in-scope family action movie."
