Holy shit. This is gonna be great!

Hope all this Ultraman stuff happening just skyrockets his popularity in the West. That would be a dream come true

I hope it's a new one.

Wow, this seems like it could be really fun and good to watch!

In this Twitter thread -

https://mobile.twitter.com/ShannonTindl ... 2131681280

- Tindle gives a nice time-line on the project: he'd been working on it for years (since 2001) as an Ultraman pastiche, almost made it at another studio (2015), and when he brought it to Netflix they were the ones who got him in touch with Tsuburaya to do it as an official Ultraman project.

Crazy to think about: Tsuburaya won against Chaiyo and a few months later an American animator backed by a major studio shows up with an already pretty developed movie concept!

Also, this is apparently different from whatever other planned Western reboot THR reported on in 2018, which means that may still be in development?

Netflix's recent business woes caused a lot of in development animated shows and films to be cancelled.

Posting this here because this movie might be a potential victim of this as well.

Oh it's almost certainly a victim alongside Skull Island.

Throw me into the fiery abyss.

They just started recording voices. I think it's too far into production and safe.

Why someone would want to make a show about people wearing Iron-man suits modeled after Ultraman rather than the Ultras themselves is beyond me.

Wrong Netflix related Ultra content. This shares no connection to the anime.

My guy, would it kill you to check just which thread you are in?

Not sure if this was known prior but according to a roadmap by TsuPro’s parent company, the film is set to release in 2024

^That tracks - with what we know about how long it takes to make a film of this type.

New promo image! Well, not that new but it gives us more of an insight into what this movie's going to look like.

! Looks like we're getting a SpiderVerse level of aggressive stylization.

(I approve)

Pretty sure we just got confirmation that the Ultraman featured in this movie will be an entirely new character, via TokuSHOUTsu's Ultraman Day special.

Ok, this makes it even MORE interesting. Will he pop up in the wider Ultra Multi-Verse?
