Cast

 * Abe: TBD
 * Molluck: The main antagonist of an film. He is the head of RuptureFarms, member of the Magog Cartel and Abe's former boss, who only desires to make more wealth by hunting down the Meeches (presumably driving them into extinction as a result), Scrabs and Paramites to turn them into food. After having survived the lightning strike caused by Mudokons, which burned down RuptureFarms at the halfway of a movie, Molluck decided to exact revenge upon Abe while avoiding from being caught by fellow Glukkons (after they believed he's behind the Mudokon uprisings thanks to Abe's earlier escape and would stand trial for his inability to quench it) alongside his loyal Slig assistant, Chauffeur.
 * Alf: A Mudokon, who once worked in RuptureFarms' microbrewery as a barista, serving SoulStorm Brew to Sligs during work shifts and Abe's close friend. TBD
 * Toby:
 * Big Face: A shaman that Abe met after he fell from a cliff trying to escape RuptureFarms and was revived by him, telling him to travel to Monsaic Lines, where he will begin a set of trials that would take place in Paramonia and Scrabania.
 * The Three Weirdos:
 * The Keeper:
 * Mudokons:
 * Brewmaster:
 * Ludwig von Aslik:
 * General Dripik:
 * Director Phleg:
 * Glukkons:
 * Chauffeur:
 * Sligs:

 * Shrykull: A invincible Mudokon demi-god with destructive power, which is an amalgation of Paramite and Scrab in appearance. After completing the Scrabania and Paramonia trials, Big Face granted Abe the ability to transform into Shrykull via spiritual tattoos before he returned to RuptureFarms to free the remaining Mudokons.
 * TBD: A human herald for Shrykull. He'll/She'll be portrayed by TBD.
 * Shrink: Also known as an "guardian angel", Shrink is a sentient A.I. robot who was manufactured in Vybber Labs, with his job being keeping track of surveillance systems in RuptureFarms and interrogated Abe in his cell after he was captured there upon his return. He used to be a companion of his mother Sam in her chamber, maintaining a sense of artificial happiness through therapy, so her rate of Mudokon eggs' reproduction wouldn't be negatively affected by severe depression.

Differences between the Games and Film

 * TBD
 * Some parts of the film's plot based on Abe's Oddysee, are inspired by a fan novelization on Reddit.
 * Even though a story's act based on Abe's Exoddus focuses more on it's original version in the script, some elements from it's remake Soulstorm, such as Toby, The Keeper and Chauffeur, are also included.
 * While Sam (Mudokons' mother and only living female one) doesn't make a physical appearance in the games, Abe mentioned her during TBD.
 * Similarly, other Canon Foreigners such as a Human Herald for Shrykull would be included as well in this story.
 * It expands on the universe's lore, such as including cut scenes from the original games such as Meeches being actually alive with a pack chasing down Abe (while he's riding on Elum in the film) and a meteor shower creating the shape of his handprint on the moon in a backstory, amongst others such as the destruction of various cities on Earth to be inline with the theme of facing off the many consequences of the people on doing harmful acts to Mother Nature.

Trivia

 * The movie's animated parts and by extension, most of it's environments keep the original series' charm and dark humor, with a design having a similar style to cinematic cutscenes from the 2021 video game Oddworld: Soulstorm. However, there are live-action sequences in certain cases such as "the End of the World" sequences.
