We got a new image for Ultraman: Rising the other day, but not only do we have more information now, we also got a teaser trailer, images, and the voice cast. As someone who knows nothing about Ultraman, I think this trailer might be some of the first footage I've seen, and this looks pretty cute. The director has said that he based a good portion of his movie on his " experience as a first-time father," and we can see where that angle comes from. Geeked Week continues, and now we know that the voice cast includes Christopher Sean (You, Hawaii Five-O), Gedde Watanabe (Sixteen Candles, Parental Guidance), Tamlyn Tomita (The Good Doctor, Cobra Kai, the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender), Keone Young (Crank, Men in Black 3, Star Wars Rebels), and Julia Harriman.
