SpongeBob SquarePants‘ worst frenemy steps into the spotlight in Netflix’s upcoming Plankton: The Movie.
That’s right: Sheldon J. Plankton (voiced by Mr. Lawrence) is getting his own film. But SpongeBob (voiced by Tom Kenny) and his friends are still very much involved — much to Plankton’s dismay.
Plankton: The Movie returns us to Bikini Bottom, where Plankton’s constant failed efforts to take over the world have strained his relationship with his supercomputer wife Karen (voiced by Jill Talley). Finally, she decides to take matters into her own hands and goes for world domination all by herself — and based on the trailer, she gets further than Plankton ever has. (Maybe Plankton: The Movie doubles as a cautionary tale about AI?)
To save the world and reconnect with his beloved wife, Plankton will have to do the unthinkable and team up with SpongeBob, Patrick Star (voiced by Bill Fagerbakke), and Sandy Cheeks (voiced by Carolyn Lawrence). Watch the chaos — including a handsome Plankton makeover — unfold above.
Plankton: The Movie hits Netflix March 7.
