What to Know for Ultraman Rising
Ultraman Rising currently does not have a release date or window as of this writing, but that will likely change with more updates coming during Geeked Week 2023 on November 6-12. First announced to be in the works back in 2021, the movie is directed by Shannon Tindle, co-directed by John Aoshima, written by Tindle and Marc Haimes for Tsuburaya Productions and Industrial Light and Magic. As for what to expect from this new take on the iconic Tokusatsu hero, Netflix teases the upcoming Ultraman Rising as such:
"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."
