The Olympic Quest/Trivia

* The film was originally produced by the Walt Disney Company, but after conflicts between script writers working on the scripts and the International Olympic Committee itself, they gave the rights and all of the movie's assets to Warner Bros. Pictures in 2019, and their most recent script too. Warner Bros. decided to change the script, and here is what was in the original script before changing:
** It was called Paris 2024: The Olympic Quest. The Paris 2024 in the title was removed to avoid making this movie similar to an advertisement.
** The movie was originally a satirical comedy movie that pokes fun at movies based on mascots before changing it to an action-adventure one.
** Fry (called Louis during production since the mascot wasn't announced yet) was voiced by JD McCrary, Miraitowa was voiced by Zach Callison, Wenlock was voiced by Rowan Atkinson, and the Fuwa were voiced by Simu Liu and Awkwafina respectively. Vinicius, Izzy, Cobi, Hades, Zeus, and Hermes kept their original voice actors, while the Fuwa got their voice actors from the 2008 series back.
** Fry was a boy who got bullied at school for liking Olympic mascots, and he was visited by someone to join the mascots, since he was chosen to be one.
** The mascots dwelled at a hideout located in Lausanne, Switzerland.
** The rings were going to be caught all around the world instead of Paris only. Only the marathon remained the same.

* Some easter eggs can be spotted in this film:
** The Olympic athletes Michael Phelps, Mark Spitz, and Sawao Kato appear in the festival as cameos, while Usain Bolt received some voice lines voiced by Bolt himself.
** In both the festival and surfing competitions, we can see a person wearing a Phrygian cap similar to Papa Smurf's, and another one wearing a Gaul helmet similar to Asterix's while Fry was thanking everyone.
** Fatso the Fat Arsed Wombat, a satirical mascot for the 2000 Summer Olympics, makes a small appearance in a flag at the Olympic Stadium.
** Miraitowa's surfboard pays homenage to the 2020 Summer Olympics, including the ichimatsu moyo pattern, as well as the logo and its motto "United by Emotion".
** On the background while Fry was talking to Wenlock about entering the nightclub, we can see a man who looks like Obelix enter the VIP section.
** The mascot for the 2022 World Cup, La'eeb, can be seen in a scene where Komma asks everyone to listen. This was one of the most obvious easter eggs in the film, as well as the first World Cup mascot to make a cameo appearance in the franchise.
** Fry reaching towards the finish line with the official theme of the movie Chariots of Fire playing is a reference to a memorable scene, also in that film.
* Misha, the mascot of the 1980 Olympics, was going to be a supporting character due to his popularity. However, because of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, he was scrapped. Misha would become the only Summer Olympic mascot to not appear at all in the film.
* Komma was originally supposed to have a singing part, but due to Elton John's retirement as a singer in the near future, this was scrapped from the script.
