Ultraman Rising OTT release date – Watch Japan’s giant superhero become a working dad to a kaiju monster baby on this platform

Ultraman: Rising is Netflix’s summer treat for lovers of the Ultraman franchise. The film was originally imagined by director Shannon Tindle while working on Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends, but it had more of a Batman spin to it. The plan was to include the struggles of parenting in a fun film, in which a billionaire comes of age while bringing up the orphaned kids of his enemy.

Ultraman: Rising release date and teaser

But he was advised later by Netflix to make it into an Ultraman film and then announced in 2021. Ultraman: Rising will be available for streaming on the OTT platform on June 14, 2024. The 44th film of the franchise has also released a teaser, while a trailer is expected to arrive in April or May. But the film’s logline and teaser itself set a feel-good, yet thrilling premise.

Ultraman: Rising plot

Ultraman: Rising features the same framework as the previous films, but with a twist. In Ultraman films, the character is always an average young man who can transform into a giant superhero and fight kaijus (or giant mythical monsters, in Japanese). But this time, Ultraman has a heavier job description.
