Ultraman
Synopsis: “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.”
You wouldn’t necessarily expect a movie about the Japanese superhero to be directed by a Westerner, but Shannon Tindle has worked on Coraline and Kubo and the Two Strings. Ultraman is currently due next year.
