Yes, the design of Ultraman himself is very classically like the suits of the tokustatsu show, but this doesn’t look evocative of either Eiichi Shimizu and Tomohiro Shimoguchi’s manga riff on the franchise nor its CG anime adaptation, which is also currently streaming on Netflix. If anything, it looks like Ultraman by the way of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, a bold, bright, wildly stylish riff on a classic superhero icon. And hey, you know what? More superheroes should have their own Into the Spider-Verse, really. Glad Ultraman’s getting with the program.
We’ll bring you more on Netflix’s plans for Ultraman as and when we learn them.
