On November 3, 1905, local time, the new film "New Ultraman" produced and written by Hideaki Anno, directed by Shinji Higuchi, and starring Kushi Saito, Masami Nagasawa, and Hidetoshi Nishijima announced that it would be released in Japan in the early summer of 2021.
"New Ultraman" is based on the popular special drama "Ultraman" broadcast by Japanese television in the 1960s, and the film version of Ultraman does not have the iconic color timer on his chest or forehead, but is designed with the concept of Narita's painting "The Embodiment of Truth, Justice and Beauty", which is close to the image of the original Ultraman.
