20 Most Anticipated Movies For The Rest Of 2026
11. Ray Gunn
Ray Gunn is the long-awaited new animated romp from Incredibles filmmaker Brad Bird, a neo-noir sci-fi mystery film starring Sam Rockwell as Raymond Gunn, the last human private eye in a futuristic world where humans and aliens co-exist.
The picture has been a passion project of Bird's for roughly three decades, and one he hoped to make before Pixar gave him The Incredibles. But alas, Skydance Animation and Netflix have partnered to finally bring Bird's dream to life, and while we've seen only a few select images from it so far, it sure seems like a tidy fit for Bird's aesthetic and storytelling sensibilities.
Elsewhere, the cast is rounded out by Scarlett Johansson as scandalous pop star Venus Nova, and Tom Waits as Ray's one-eyed alien pal Eyera.
Bird's commitment to Ray Gunn was enough that he ultimately stepped aside from directing his script for the impending Incredibles 3; perhaps the greatest indication of just how much he cares about Ray Gunn.
Ray Gunn releases TBA 2026.
