“Ultraman – do your job!” Netflix has unveiled the full official trailer for Ultraman: Rising, a brand new animated take on Ultraman from director Shannon Tindle (also of Kubo and “Lost Ollie”). This has been in development for years at ILM, with the VFX house handling most of the key animation, along side Netflix Animation & Tsuburaya Productions. Based on the classic Japanese mecha superhero of the same name, this Ultraman movie is a fresh update made for American audiences (there’s already the Ultraman anime series on Netflix to watch as well). Ken Sato is a superstar baseball player who returns to Japan to become the latest hero to carry the mantle of Ultraman. His plans go awry, however, when he ends up raising a newborn kaiju monster as his own kid. Staring Christopher Sean, Tamlyn Tomita, Gedde Watanabe, Keone Young, and Julia Harriman. This is a fantastic trailer that really sets up the vibe of this movie, which is kid friendly with this adorable kaiju, but it still looks like everyone can enjoy it. Don’t write this off! Dive in.
Here’s the full official trailer for Shannon Tindle & John Aoshima’s Ultraman: Rising, from YouTube:

Based on the beloved Japanese character, Netflix’s Ultraman follows baseball superstar Ken Sato as he returns to his home country of Japan to pick up the mantle of Earth-defending superhero Ultraman. He soon finds more than he bargained for when he’s forced to raise the offspring of his greatest foe. Ken must go on a heroic journey, balancing parenthood, his estranged father, and the relentless Kaiju Defense Force to rise beyond his ego and discover what it truly means to be Ultraman. Ultraman: Rising is directed by animation filmmaker / artist Shannon Tindle, the original director of Kubo and the Two Strings, plus creator of the “Lost Ollie” series, and also a character designer / producer on many other animation projects previously. Co-directed by filmmaker John Aoshima (“Gravity Falls”, “Red Lands”, “DuckTales”, “Maya and the Three”). The screenplay is written by Marc Haimes and Shannon Tindle. Produced by Tom Knott, Sean M. Murphy at ILM, & Lisa M. Poole. Netflix releases Tindle & Aoshima’s Ultraman: Rising streaming on Netflix worldwide starting June 14th, 2024 coming up this summer. Look good? Who wants to watch?
