Production
At NickCon in april 2026, Nickelodeon Cinematic Universe CEO Ethan Nelson confirmed that the NCU's version of Jimmy Neutron that had been featured in previous NCU films would be getting his own solo film in 2028, along with CatDog. In an interview in June, he said that the film would be a prequel to Rise of Finbarr Calamitous that would take on Neutron's origin story, saying that "Jimmy's origin was never really explored in [Rise of Finarr Calamitous], and we thought there was interesting stuff there." When asked about the difference between this and the past Jimmy Neutron films, Nelson confirmed that it would have a slightly darker, grittier tone. Later that year, it was announced that Untitled Monster Film director Harry Bellingham was chosen to direct the film. In March 2027, the movie, now simply titled Jimmy Neutron, was given the new date of May 4th, 2029.

In ealry 2027, it was rumored that Abe Ross, who voiced an older version of Neutron in the Nicktoons films, would return to voice the titular character. But later, that rumor was debunked by Harry Bellingham, tweeting that "Abe is currently committed to Banes and other projects." In July, Thomas Chase-Wattkins was cast as the main antagonist Eustace Stritch, and Aubrey Motton was cast as Betty Quinlan. In September 2027, it was announced that Whatever World actor Loucas MacAleese was the new voice of Jimmy Neutron. The rest of the cast was announced early in 2028. Do you like this idea? Yes! Sounds like a great reboot. Not so sure... Nuh-uh, sir.
