With a full-fledged, live-action Captain Planet film on its way thanks to Cartoon Network, it’s time for Funny Or Die to give it a try. And I must say, it does to great avail.

Starring Don Cheadle as the man in blue, the short sees Cap going off on various people, and ultimately both a city, and even an unlucky Planeteer. And yes. It’s that damn good.

Watch the video here below.

Cheadle is amazingly off the wall here, giving us a look at Captain Planet, if he were a bit more on edge. I am personally a huge fan of the original character and show, but frankly, to make it interesting, the film would have to be exactly like this. I don’t think the character translates well to the big screen, and unless it is given the right treatment, the film is going to look absolutely hilarious.

What do you think?
