Netflix released the first trailer for their all new animated film, “Ultraman: Rising.”
Ultraman has been fighting kaiju for more than 50 years, but you’ve never seen him like this. The Japanese hero is coming to Netflix in a new animated film, “Ultraman: Rising,” and you won’t believe who he’s bringing along. After decades of Ultramanappearances, beginning with the original 1966 television series created by Eiji Tsuburaya and Tetsuo Kinjo, the film introduces an all-new Ultraman: baseball star Ken Sato.
Like previous entries, “Ultraman: Rising” follows a seemingly average young man who has the ability to transform into a gigantic superhero. Fans of the series will find plenty to love, but don’t worry: If you’re unfamiliar with Ultraman, the new film introduces a reimagined iteration of the Earthbound hero, with new enemies and challenges to face.
“Ultraman: Rising” hits Netflix sometime in 2024.
