Brad Bird’s animated noir “Ray Gunn” is by far the most anticipated animated film of the year — is there even a close second? It is finally nearing release after more than 30 years in development, though fans have still only seen limited glimpses of the project.
That may soon change, as Netflix has confirmed the film will screen footage at the 2026 Annecy International Animation Film Festival. A newly released teaser poster, or maybe it’s concept art, has been released, showing private detective Raymond Gunn walking through a highly stylized alleyway — below.
The $150M-costing film, which blends murder mysteries, and retro-futuristic aesthetics, a stylish revival of classic old-school animation and noir storytelling, has an intriguing voice cast: Sam Rockwell, Scarlett Johansson, and Tom Waits.
