Venetian blinds throw bright stripes across a detective's office. Outside, the city reaches skyward. Netflix's new Ray Gunn trailer puts those familiar noir shapes alongside flying cars and alien characters in Brad Bird's animated science-fiction mystery.
The November 12 trailer introduces Metropia, a city whose optimistic Art Deco-inspired exterior conceals corruption and murder. Sam Rockwell voices private detective Raymond Gunn, while Scarlett Johansson voices star Venus Nova and Tom Waits plays Ray's alien partner Eye-Ra.
Netflix's official second trailer for Ray Gunn.

A future with shadows
The poster frames Ray with a ray gun against a towering city, while Venus looms above him. Its bold lettering and saturated colours give the film's futuristic setting the visual language of a vintage movie poster.

Bird told Netflix that the project blends detective noir and science-fiction adventure. That combination carries through to Metropia itself: a gleaming city viewed alongside its darker corners.
