Ultraman holding a fish-like baby in the pale moonlight in Ultraman: Rising
The Big Picture Netflix is set to welcome the next generation of a fan-favorite Japanese superhero with the arrival of Ultraman: Rising. Releasing in June, the animated film follows Ken Sato , a baseball star who returns home as Tokyo faces a new wave of monster attacks and takes on the mantle of Ultraman in his father's place. The challenges for the newly-minted hero keep mounting, however, as he becomes the unlikely adoptive parent of a baby kaiju.
Ultraman: Rising features an iteration of the beloved hero who's still getting to grips with his powers. As Ken takes over for his father, he wrestles with a feeling that his abilities are inadequate, struggling mightily with each monstrous threat he faces. When he battles a massive dragon-like kaiju over a stadium, he's saddled with even more pressure when he retrieves the beast's egg just as it hatches.
While much of the movie revolves around Ken learning to balance his work and the kaiju kid, he faces a shadowy threat seeking to exploit the baby for their own gain. Ultraman will combat a private military under the sinister Dr. Onda , who will go to any lengths to capture the child, including sending armed aircraft into the middle of busy city streets.
Who Worked on 'Ultraman: Rising'?
