Netflix has released a second trailer for Ray Gunn, Brad Bird's first animated feature since Incredibles 2. It opens in select theaters and select 70mm showings on December 4, 2026, then arrives on Netflix on December 18.
The story
The film is a neo-noir sci-fi mystery set in Metropia, a gigantic city in an alternate future as it was imagined from 1939. Raymond Gunn is the last human private detective left in this futuristic world, and he gets pulled into a case involving aliens, murder and Venus Nova, a multimedia star. Netflix's own pitch for the trailer sums up the tone: a whole new world to investigate, where everyone is a suspect.
Who's in it
Sam Rockwell voices Raymond "Ray" Gunn, with Scarlett Johansson as Venus Nova and Tom Waits as Eyera. Alan Tudyk plays Barry Vogel and Matt Berry plays Francis "Slugsy" Xavier, and Bird himself voices Slugsy's henchmen, Gunsol and Musker. Bobby Cannavale, Michelle Rodriguez, Patton Oswalt, John Ratzenberger, Aasif Mandvi and Kathryn Hunter are also in the voice cast.
Behind the camera
Bird, the director of The Iron Giant, The Incredibles and Ratatouille, directs from a screenplay he wrote with Matthew Robbins, based on his own original story. It's produced by Skydance Animation, with John Lasseter, Bird, Lisa Beroud, David Ellison and Dana Goldberg among the producers. The limited 70mm run gives fans a chance to see it on a big screen before it lands on streaming two weeks later.
