GoKawiil Brief

Netflix has released the official trailer for Ray Gunn, a new animated feature from director Brad Bird set to premiere in December. The film is billed as a neo-noir science-fiction mystery featuring retro-futuristic imagery such as flying cars, jet packs, laser guns and a femme fatale. Bird, known for The Iron Giant, The Incredibles and Ratatouille, has developed the project with co-writer Matthew Robbins over roughly three decades.

Why It Matters

GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.

The release marks a notable return to original animated storytelling for Bird, whose past work has earned multiple Oscars, which could draw significant attention to Netflix's animation slate. Bird's account of the script languishing at Warner Brothers for decades suggests the project faced a long and difficult path to production, a detail that may shape how the film is received by longtime fans of his work.
