Netflix shares a new trailer for Brad Bird's animated film Ray Gunn

Netflix has dropped a fresh look at Ray Gunn, a passion project from director Brad Bird that has been in development for decades. Blending elements of classic detective thrillers with a futuristic setting, the movie stars Sam Rockwell as private eye Raymond Gunn and features an extensive voice cast including Scarlett Johansson, Tom Waits, and Matt Berry. The film is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on December 18, 2026, with a select theatrical run beginning earlier that month on December 4. Targeted at a slightly older demographic than Bird's previous Pixar works, the story follows a detective in an alternate-future city navigating a case involving aliens and murder.
