We are getting some more animated gems from Netflix as Geeked Week continues. Ultraman: Rising was first announced back in May 2021, but this isn't the same thing as the series that ran for four years. This is a film that, according to director Shannon Tindle in a Twitter AMA back in July, "The film is meant for everyone – especially those who don't know the character. And it was inspired by my experience as a first-time father:)." We have the summary for the film but nothing about the cast yet, but Geeked Week is going on until the end of the week. We got a look at the film back in April, and Netflix has dropped a new image as well. We don't have a release date yet, but considering that the last time this was featured was in a preview in April, talking about the films coming out in the next eighteen months, we should expect early 2024.
