Netflix's City Hunter Gets Wild in New Trailer
Netflix has dropped the trailer for its live-action City Hunter movie!
City Hunter will be debuting a new live-action movie with Netflix later this year, and now fans have gotten the first look at what to expect with a trailer for the adaptation! Fans have seen a number of manga and anime adaptations making their debuts with Netflix in the last couple of years especially, and soon we'll get to see the next major entry. Adapting Tsukasa Hojo's original manga series from Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, City Hunter will be the first live-action adaptation production to come out of Japan (following productions in China and other countries in the past).
City Hunter will be releasing with Netflix next month, and debuted a new trailer for the live-action movie featuring the theme song "Get Wild Continual," which is actually an updated version of the original TV anime's theme, "Get Wild" as performed by TM Network. Showing off Ryohei Suzuki as the lead Ryo Saeba and the kinds of wacky action fans can hope to see in the new movie, you can check out the trailer for Netflix's live-action City Hunter movie below:
