From Comics to Screen Teaser Trailer for Netflix's Superhero Series JUPITER'S LEGACY
Netflix has released a new teaser trailer for its upcoming series adaptation of Mark Millar’s superhero comic series Jupiter’s Legacy. The teaser is titled “From Comics to Screen,” and it features the characters from the comic created by artist Frank Quietly being brought to life.
Jupiter’s Legacy is a multigenerational drama that follows the world’s first generation of superheroes, who received their powers in the 1930s. In the present day, they’re the revered elder guard, but their superpowered children struggle to live up to the legendary feats of their parents.
The series stars Josh Duhamel (Transformers) as Sheldon Sampson/The Utopian. He is the “storied leader of the superhero team The Union. But times have changed, and he doesn’t understand the world we live in anymore. Or his own family.”
Duhamel is joined by Ben Daniels as Walter Sampson/Brainwave, Leslie Bibb as Grace Sampson/Lady Liberty, Elena Kampouris as Chloe Sampson, Andrew Horton as Brandon Sampson/Paragon, Mike Wade as Fitz Small, and Matt Lanter as George Hutchene/Skyfox.
The project was created and executive produced by Steven S. DeKnight (Daredevil). He was originally attached to serve as the showrunner, but he dropped out due to creative differences. He ended up being replaced with Sang Kyu Kim.
Jupiter Legacy is scheduled to make its debut on May 7, 2021.
