Development
In 2009, it was announced that 20th Century Fox bought the rights to a film adaption of the hit video game series. However, these plans were cancelled in 2012 due to creative differences with Gingo and Fox. Three years later, the plans were revived by Paramount Pictures (via Paramount Animation) with producers and writers hired for the film.

According to Geo G., he has high expectations for the film as it is expected to duplicate or at least acquire the same success that Cool Spot had even if it is lower as that film was a video game adaption Gingo produced for Universal Pictures which was released in September 2018 and ended becoming an unexpected major box office hit. In July 2018, the film was given the official name of Agent Chrysocolla and release date of May 29, 2020, with Charles Zembillas hired to direct and write. On February 1, 2019, the film's release was moved up to March 13, 2020 to accommodate The SpongeBob Movie: It's a Wonderful Sponge.

On April 27, 2019, Universal Pictures announced that they had acquired the rights after Paramount put the film into turnaround. However, most of the production team remained unchanged, although Universal rescheduled the release date to February 2020, taking over the slot for Universal Animation's Luna & Zak: Level Two.

Casting
In September 2018, it was announced that Swedish actress Alicia Vikander was cast as the main title character along with Jet Servo being voiced by British actor Jason Statham. On November 1, it was revealed that Emma Watson was cast to play Chrysocolla's younger sister, Sam Reed while Seth Meyers, Larenz Tate, and Wiz Khalifa were added to the main cast. In May 2019, Michelle Pfeiffer was cast.

Animation
