However, despite its success and popularity, the show has never received an official live-action treatment.

A fan-made trailer imagines a live-action adaptation of the popular animated series Futurama. Released by Multiverse of Movies, the video has surpassed 444,000 views in just over a week, featuring a cast of well-known actors playing the show's iconic characters, thanks to the use of artificial intelligence-generated imagery.


Could there ever be a live-action Futurama?

In the trailer, Brie Larson is imagined as Leela, the one-eyed protagonist, while Ryan Reynolds lends his likeness and voice to Philip J. Fry, the delivery boy frozen for a thousand years. Other cast members include Bill Murray as Professor Farnsworth and Lucy Liu as Amy Wong. John DiMaggio and Billy West, the original voice actors of the animated series, are set to reprise their respective roles as Bender and Dr. Zoidberg, maintaining some continuity with the original version. Chris Hemsworth and Sigourney Weaver are also part of this fictional cast, playing Zapp Brannigan and Mom.

The trailer, which includes classic Futurama lines adapted for the live-action context, has raised fan interest in a possible film adaptation of the series. Futurama, created by Matt Groening and David X. Cohen, debuted in 1999 and has enjoyed several revivals over the years, with the final season airing on Hulu. However, despite its success and popularity, the show has never received an official live-action treatment.
