Netflix has announced an exciting new project for Ultraman fans!
A new CGI feature is in development for the streaming platform, written and directed by animation veteran Shannon Tindle.
A brief plot synopsis has already been released:
“Baseball superstar Ken Sato returns to his home country of Japan to pick up the mantle of Earth-defending superhero Ultraman, but quickly finds more than he bargained for when he’s forced to raise the offspring of his greatest foe, a newborn Kaiju. Struggling to balance the roles of teammate and new father, Ken must confront his own ego, his estranged father, and the conniving Kaiju Defense Force to rise up and discover what it truly means to be Ultraman.”
An exact release date for this new film has not been confirmed at time of writing. Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details on this new chapter in Ultra history!

So... Cautiously Optimistic?
Ooh, Kubo? That's some pretty good stuff behind them then
