We're in the home stretch of the year, and the final movies of 2026 are getting ready to roll out. We still have some very promising-looking animated films hanging out in the rafters, and one of them is absolutely Ray Gunn. The film has been making the rounds on the festival circuit and in some markets lucky enough to get screenings, and all the early reactions have been extremely promising. It's director, Brad Bird, the man who could make a pretty good movie on autopilot. However, as we can all see in the new trailer for Ray Gunn, this does not appear to be Bird on autopilot; everything about this film looks incredibly stylish and like we're about to see some seriously fun genre-blending.
"Ray Gunn has been in my mind for over 30 years," Bird said in a statement when the film was first announced back in April. "The film is a blend of sci-fi and classic detective movies from the '40s…it's Maltese Falcon meets Buck Rogers. I've been a fan of both of those sort of genres, and blending them together seemed fun, and a chance to play with a lot of very cinematic elements, and extreme characters."
"Having the opportunity to collaborate with Brad Bird is a career milestone for me; I have loved his work my entire life," Scarlett Johansson said in the same statement. "This project is so uniquely special because it is a total realization of where Brad is currently on his artistic journey. I can't wait for audiences to see this extraordinary animation that looks like nothing else out there."
