Background and development
Brad Bird wrote the original story for Ray Gunn as a mystery film set in "the sprawling, magnificent city of Metropia", an alternate future and then went on to develop the script with Matthew Robbins). Originally, the film was intended to be produced by Turner Feature Animation in the 1990s, but it was shelved when Bird went on to direct The Iron Giant (1999) at Warner Bros. Feature Animation instead following Turner's merger with Time Warner in 1996. Despite this, Bird did not forget about his Ray Gunn project, stating that he negotiated for the rights to the material and telling Warner Bros. that, "Either let's make it or let me try to make it somewhere else." Apparently, when Bird came to Pixar, Bird offered them Ray Gunn, but the studio chose to produce The Incredibles (2004) instead, and Ray Gunn was never produced by Pixar.
