Ray Gunn

Ray Gunn (2026) arrives with the kind of premise that feels instantly cinematic: a private detective hustling for survival in Metropia, a colossal alternate-future city viewed through a 1939 lens. It’s a world where the past’s silhouettes and slang collide with tomorrow’s tech, and every corner looks like it’s hiding a second story.

At the center is Raymond Gunn, voiced by Sam Rockwell, a gumshoe operating at society’s edges—clever, compromised, and always one step from trouble. His closest constant is Eyera, an alien companion whose presence suggests this isn’t just a genre exercise but a mystery with stranger rules and wider horizons than the typical back-alley case.

The spark comes when Gunn takes a questionable surveillance job connected to pop sensation Venus Nova, voiced by Scarlett Johansson. The assignment looks like easy money, the kind that keeps the lights on and the landlord quiet—until it opens a door to a far uglier truth. In classic noir fashion, the closer Gunn gets to the answers, the more dangerous the questions become.

Brad Bird’s direction is poised to make the most of the film’s cross-genre DNA—animation that can glide from smoky crime drama to sleek science fiction without losing momentum. With a cast that includes Tom Waits, Matt Berry, Kathryn Hunter, Alan Tudyk, Brad Bird, and Michael Chernus, Ray Gunn has the vocal texture for a city full of hustlers, eccentrics, and power brokers who never say what they mean.

What makes Ray Gunn especially enticing is its promise of a mystery that isn’t simply “who did it,” but “who benefits from keeping it buried.” For more coverage, trailers, and updates as Metropia’s secrets come into focus, visit https://trailerix.com.
