BEN 10: Live Action Movie – New Trailer | Tom Holland | Netflix

It has been years since Ben 10 made its debut, and there is reason why the animated series still reigns as one of Cartoon Network’s best originals. Created in 2005, the supernatural series brought Ben Tennyson to life, and his powerful Omnitrix is now a source of nostalgia for fans across the globe. Of course, the show’s legacy meant many have been waiting for an update on Ben 10‘s live-action plans. More than a decade ago, Hollywood signaled its interest in bringing Ben 10 to life, but one executive says those plans have been trashed.

The update comes from The Direct as the site spoke with Steve Richards, a filmmaker and one of the producers tied to Ben 10. It was there the executive was asked about the live-action adaptation as it is still listed on their IMDb page, and Richards confirmed the project was dead due to licensing issues.
