Rick And Morty would be 100 seasons and a movie, if Dan Harmon had his way

But while he would hypothetically (and jokingly) love to “start with a Snyder cut… so we can just have a six-hour Rick and Morty movie and three hours of it is in black and white,” gears are still turning for the feature film—albeit maybe a shorter one than Snyder would sign his name to. Harmon shared that he had a meeting with a few Warner Bros. execs where “it felt like maybe it was time to get the ball rolling” on a movie. While there’s no script yet, he felt that everyone was on the same page concerning the “right conceit” moving forward.

“My philosophy would be to just take a Rick and Morty adventure, and spend a bunch of extra money on it and make it 90 minutes long,” he continued in all seriousness, specifying that he wasn’t interested in “dramatic tone shifts” or a “canonical thing… that changes everything after.” In his mind, the perfect movie would just be “a super badass episode of Rick and Morty.”

Speaking of episodes, there is still a lot for fans to look forward to. The Adult Swim series will air its seventh season—the first since parting ways with co-creator and noted creep Justin Roiland—on October 15, which is still just a dent in the show’s previously ordered 70 episodes (comprising at least two more seasons that are apparently already mostly written). But Harmon doesn’t want to stop there. The show would run for 100 seasons if he had his way, as he says “it’s designed to.”

Still, this desire hasn’t stopped him from pondering the ultimate fates for both Rick and Morty, who themselves are responsible for about 93 billion deaths at this point (at least according to this very thorough wiki site). “It would maybe just be Morty turning 15 and finding a girlfriend that actually makes him want to be an independent person, so everything is kind of destroyed because Morty just wants to be a teenager now and start to grow up,” he said. “Morty’s 15th birthday would be the catastrophic sinking of that Titanic.”
