Marsupilami is an adventure comedy directed by Philippe Lacheau, based on the comic book character created by André Franquin. The film brings together Philippe Lacheau, Jamel Debbouze, Tarek Boudali, Élodie Fontan, Julien Arruti, Alban Ivanov, Reem Kherici, Corentin Guillot and Jean Reno. The screenplay is by Philippe Lacheau, Pierre Dudan, Julien Arruti and Pierre Lacheau.
Adapted from André Franquin’s Marsupilami adventures, the film follows David, an employee willing to go to any length to keep his job. He agrees to deliver a mysterious package from South America and boards a cruise liner with his ex, Tess, their son Léo, and his colleague Stéphane, a duo as naive as they are clumsy.
When Stéphane accidentally opens the package, he discovers a Marsupilami baby that is as adorable as it is unpredictable. The situation quickly spirals out of control and the journey turns into a series of comical disasters, including chases, misunderstandings, and chaos on board, while the legendary little creature attracts everyone's attention.
Born in 1952 in the pages of the magazine Spirou, Marsupilami is one of the most iconic figures in Franco-Belgian comics, created by André Franquin. This big-screen adaptation arrives more than a decade after Alain Chabat’s film, adopting a family-friendly adventure-comedy approach and the humor conventions popularized by Spirou and his crew.
Philippe Lacheau is back here with his regular collaborators after the successes of Babysitting, Alibi.com and Nicky Larson et le Parfum de Cupidon. Surrounding him, the bande à Fifi is joined by Jamel Debbouze, Jean Reno, Alban Ivanov and Reem Kherici.
Produced by Pathé and Baf Prod, in association with TF1 Films Production, Artemis Productions, and Logical Content Ventures. Pathé also handles the film’s theatrical distribution, home video, and international sales.
With its tone of comédie d’aventure, Marsupilami targets a family audience, from fans of Franco-Belgian comics to children meeting the creature for the first time. The story blends visual gags, audacious capers and a strong group dynamic, continuing the tradition of the popular comedies led by Philippe Lacheau and his regular collaborators.
Themes of blended families, friendship, and resourcefulness run through the story, set against a backdrop of a risky mission and murky trafficking. The film targets viewers looking for more than a strict faithful adaptation of Franquin’s universe or a realistic adventure: this version leans into comedy, pace, and chaos-filled moments aboard a cruise.
