The first trailer for Netflix's animated movie "Ultraman Rising" has been revealed, showing protagonist Ken Sato becoming a father figure to a Kaiju baby. The teaser showcases vibrant animations and hints at the humorous family dynamics between Ken and his unexpected child. Ken Sato, a baseball superstar, is depicted returning to Japan to assume the role of Ultraman, but he must also nurture the progeny of his archenemy.

The film is inspired by the work of Eiji Tsuburaya, the co-creator of Godzilla. It is directed by Shannon Tindle and co-directed by John Aoshima, with notable contributions to movies like Coraline and Kubo and the Two Strings. The voice cast includes Christopher Sean and others.

While the exact release date has not been confirmed, "Ultraman Rising" is set to debut on Netflix in 2024. This announcement is part of Netflix's Geeked Week, which also featured updates on other projects, such as a teaser for Netflix's live-action "Avatar: The Last Airbender" and the premiere timeframe for the second season of "Arcane."
