The project has been four years in the making, with showrunner André Nemec (who wrote Mission Impossible — Ghost Protocol) overseeing a story scripted by Marvel mainstay Christopher Yost (Thor: The Dark World and Thor: Ragnarok). Nemec is part of Midnight Studios, whose Jeff Pinkner, Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg all serve as co-exec producers on the series.
Netflix has confirmed that Shinichirō Watanabe, the director of the original anime, is a consultant on the live-action series, and original composer Yoko Kanno will score the new material.
In 2019, Netflix teased fans with a look at some behind-the-scenes action. Today, the streaming giant shared a collection of new images that give us a glimpse into its visual world.
