Shin Ultraman New Trailer
The universe is known as “Shin” is the brainchild of Hideaki Anno, the man responsible for introducing the world of NERV to the world via Neon Genesis Evangelion. Taking his love of giant monsters and those who battle them, Shin Ultraman is set to put a brand new spin on the classic character that first debuted in Japan in the 1960s. Set to arrive next month, the movie was originally delayed as a result of the coronavirus pandemic but is set to introduce fans to a brand new take on the kaiju killer.
Shin Ultraman will be the second feature-length film in the “Shin Universe”, with Shin Godzilla being the first. Aside from this new cinematic universe giving new looks to both Ultraman and the king of the monsters, the new films appear to take on a far more realistic approach to these giant monster battles than what has been seen previously. While we don’t know if this will be true for Shin Ultraman, Shin Godzilla focused just as much on government bureaucracy in response to a rampaging behemoth as it did to the lizard king himself, who was given his most terrifying appearance to date.
Shin Ultraman releases in Japanese theaters on May 13.
