The visual style of Æon Flux was deeply influenced by the figurative paintings and drawings of the Austrian artist Egon Schiele. Other key influences on Æon Flux can be found in Japanese anime (especially grittier fare like Akira), and European comic works such as the work of Moebius (particularly in lineforms, color palettes, and figure characterizations). Graphic violence and sexuality, including fetishism and domination, are frequently depicted. One peculiarity of the series is that every short and some full episodes end with the recurring, violent death of Æon Flux. Another is that, with the exception of a single spoken word, all of the short episodes are completely devoid of dialogue. Peter Chung has said that this plot ambiguity and disregard for continuity are meant as a satire of mainstream action films, and his stories often emphasize the futility of violence and the ambiguity of personal morality.

After nearly a decade of speculation and rumor, filming began August 2004 in Berlin for a live-action feature film version of Æon Flux, to be released in mid-2005. The screenplay was written by Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi, and the film is being directed by Karyn Kusama. The character of Æon Flux is being played by Oscar-winner Charlize Theron. Filming was temporarily suspended during September 2004 while Theron recovered from a neck injury she suffered during stuntwork on the tenth day of shooting. Production resumed in early October.

As is often the case when popular animated characters are adapted to live-action, fans of the series have been critical both in the choice of lead actress and in the very decision to do a live-action version.
