Jupiter S Legacy Trailer Netflix S Comic Adaptation Premieres In May

Netflix’s synopsis for the upcoming television adaptation reads: “After nearly a century of keeping mankind safe, the world’s first generation of superheroes must look to their children to continue the legacy. But tensions rise as the young superheroes, hungry to prove their worth, struggle to live up to their parents’ legendary public reputations — and exacting personal standards.” The series stars Josh Duhamel, Leslie Bibb, Ben Daniels, Elena Kampouris, Andrew Horton, Mike Wade, and Matt Lanter. Executive producers include Millar, Quitely, Lorenzo Di Bonaventura, Dan McDermott, Steven S. DeKnight, James Middleton, and Sang Kyu Kim. “Jupiter’s Legacy” is the latest in a string of adaptations of Millar’s work. The “Kick-Ass” and “Kick-Ass 2” films, which released in 2010 and 2013, respectively, were adapted from Millar’s comics, as were the four “Kingsman” films, the latest of which is slated to premiere in August. 2015’s ill-fated “Fantastic Four” film was also based on a Millar comic, as were the well-received “Captain America: Civil War” and “Logan” films. Netflix has premiered a handful of other superhero shows over the last few years, including “The Umbrella Academy,” which has been renewed for a third season at the streamer, as well as Marvel Cinematic Universe titles such as “Daredevil” and “Jessica Jones” Check out the trailer for “Jupiter’s Legacy” below.
