Jessica Rabbit, the iconic character and wife of Roger Rabbit from Who Framed Roger Rabbit, is reportedly getting a live-action.

After the creator Gary K. Wolf got back the rights of the character, he made an interesting announcement to bring it all to life.

During his conversation with ImNotBad, Gary admitted he can “do my own Roger Rabbit projects” as he succeeded in getting “back the rights to all my characters, all my books.”

However, a question about the lead lingered in the minds of fans as they start suggesting the best fit for the role of sultry Jessica on X (formerly Twitter).

One of the X users shared an AI picture of Nicki Minaj as the lead of the new project, claiming she “would eat” as the character.

On the other hand, a netizen shared an old video of Cardi B from Halloween dressed as Jessica but many contented to the idea of the rapper taking the position.

While few bid for Sydney Sweeney, others felt it “doesn’t look right” as they referred to her ongoing and past controversies, including her jeans campaign.

This was made possible after the mastermind secured a legal victor “under a copyright termination clause,” giving him the authority to finally plan future of the world he created.

When did Disney purchase the rights of Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

The original movie was released in 1988 which was a blend of live-action and animation. The rights of the project were bought by Disney in 1981.
