Quinta Brunson Shares Update On Betty Boop Film Development: “The Story Will Be Unlike Anything Anyone Expects”

Quinta Brunson says the Betty Boop film she is developing and starring in remains in progress, with few details ready to share. She described it as a story that will surprise audiences and said it matters because it will explore both Betty Boop and a wider era of animation.

Brunson said the idea came from the story of Betty Boop’s creation, which she believes sheds light on more of American history than might be expected. She is making the film with Fleischer Studios, which owns the character created by Max Fleischer, and her own Fifth Chance Productions. Brunson also stars in the sixth season of *Abbott Elementary* and has voice roles in *Zootopia 2* and the forthcoming *The Cat in the Hat*.
