Production
In an interview with The Times newspaper, series creator Ben Bocquelet mentioned plans for a feature film based on the series. However, after Bocquelet announced his departure from the show following the sixth season, he stated that he doubted a film would be made.

In March 2018, Bocquelet's interest in a Gumball movie was seemingly revitalized as he stated that he "might have a good idea" for a movie. He later added that he had two ideas, one for a potential theatrical film and one for a potential direct-to-video film.

On September 29, 2018, during a Q&A with the series director Mic Graves at Cartoon Network UK's 25th anniversary screening, he confirmed that a script for The Amazing World of Gumball movie is in the works. He also said that he hopes for the movie to happen. Bocquelet retweeted a tweet which states that the script for a film based on The Amazing World of Gumball is being written, however it is currently unknown if the film will actually be made. After the season six finale "The Inquisition", met with mixed-to-negative reviews from fans of the series, was released on the Cartoon Network App on 31 May, Bocquelet stated it was not his concept to conclude the season on a cliffhanger, adding that it would be resolved if a film based on the series were produced.

Release
The film will be released on HBO Max in the United States, along with a theatrical release in the US and United Kingdom.

The film's release in international countries will be handled by Warner Bros. Pictures (except in Australia and New Zealand, where Warner Bros. films have been released by Universal Pictures since 2021).

The Jurassic World short-film Battle at Big Rock will debut before the movie in theaters.
