First Look: Ultraman (2019)

Many years ago, Ultraman came to Earth to protect it from annihilation at the hands of giant monsters and aliens. Nowadays it’s just a distant memory, but not for Shin Hayata, the human host of Ultraman. His time as a host caused him to inherit some otherworldly powers, which were then passed down to his son, Shinjiro Hayata. With sightings of an evil, Ultraman-like figure, Shinjiro must learn about the origin of his powers, and how he can use them to protect Earth.
