Ben 10: Into the Omniverse

***Ben 10: Into the Omniverse*** is the 2026 animated superhero film based on the animated television series *Ben 10*, created by Man of Action. A reboot of the series and the seventh installment of the Cartoon Network Cinematic Multiverse (CNCM), it was directed by Jeff Rowe, who co-wrote the screenplay with Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Dan Hernandez, and Benji Samit, from a story he co-wrote with Brendan O'Brien, Rogen, and Goldberg.

In the film, Ben Tennyson, a 10-year-old from the city of Bellwood, begins his cross-country summer vacation with his cousin, Gwen, and his grandfather, Max. Ben finds a crashed pod at their first stop. Within it is a watch-like alien artifact called the Omnitrix and must team up with the alternative versions of himself from the Classic and Reboot continuities to take on an ultimate threat known as Alien X. The story explores themes of family, acceptance, and conformity. The film is dedicated to Dwayne McDuffie, one of the writers and story editors who died in 2011, and Kevin Conroy, who voiced Bellicus, Alien X's voice of rage and aggression who died in 2022.

Plans for an animated *Ben 10* film with involvement by Rogen began in 2021. In June 2022, the project was officially announced, with Rogen, Goldberg, and James Weaver producing through their company, Point Grey Pictures, Rowe as director, and O'Brien as screenwriter. Kyler Spears joined soon after as co-director. Seeking to explore the aspect of Ben 10, the filmmakers drew inspiration from teenage coming-of-age films. The majority of the cast was announced in March 2023. The animation was provided by Mikros Animation in Montreal and Paris and Cinesite in Vancouver and Montreal, and was primarily influenced by school notebook sketches inspired by *Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles* (2023) and comic book techniques inspired by *Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse* (2018). Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross composed the score.
