Netflix and Skydance released first images for Brad Bird's Ray Gunn, a retro-futurist sci-fi noir set in Metropia. The animated feature stars Sam Rockwell and Scarlett Johansson, with Tom Waits among the supporting voices. Bird has nurtured the project for decades, and the film blends aliens, murder, and media spectacle. The release matters because it marks a major auteur's return to adult-oriented animation, and it raises the stakes for Netflix and Skydance in high-profile streaming animation.
