The live-action reboot has been quietly in development at Disney since 2019. Saturday Night Live alumni Mikey Day and Streeter Seidell were previously attached to pen the script, while filmmaker Sean Anders (Daddy’s Home) is on board to direct the bumbling cybernetic detective’s next big-screen adventure.
The iconic Inspector Gadget franchise first captured the imagination of audiences with the classic animated television series that originally aired from 1983 to 1985, produced by DIC Entertainment. While WildBrain currently owns the rights to the overall intellectual property, Disney holds the exclusive cinematic rights to the character. This wouldn’t be the studio’s first time bringing the bumbling cyborg to life; Disney previously produced the 1999 live-action theatrical film starring Matthew Broderick, followed by a direct-to-video sequel in 2003 with French Stewart stepping into the trench coat.
