Production
In January 2020, Lionsgate announced the development on an untitled animated superhero film directed by Chris McKay as well as being written and starring Seth MacFarlane. In February, Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson were announced to star, but the latter dropped out before production began due to scheduling conflicts with The Batman. Margot Robbie was reportedly considered for Lawrence's role, while Jamie Foxx was considered for Jordan's. In October, Christian Bale was cast as Pattinson's replacement. The rest of the ensemble cast was revealed between January and June 2022.

Later on in 2022, it was announced that the film would be an adult animated superhero comedy released by Lionsgate through Summit Entertainment with a rating aimed at PG-13 or R.
