A new image from the upcoming "Superman: Red Son" animated movie has been released online featuring the Man of Steel and Wonder Woman.
The film is based on the 2003 graphic novel of the same name written by Mark Millar which depicts Superman's rocket ship landing on a Ukrainian collective farm rather than in Kansas. Instead of fighting for "Truth, Justice, and the American Way", Superman is described in Soviet radio broadcasts "... as the Champion of the common worker who fights a never-ending battle for Stalin, socialism, and the international expansion of the Warsaw Pact."
The voice cast of features Jason Isaacs as Superman; Diedrich Bader as Lex Luthor; Amy Acker as Lois Lane; Vanessa Marshall as Wonder Woman; Phil Morris as James Olsen; Paul Williams as Brainiac; Sash Roiz as Hal Jordan; Phil LaMarr as Jon Stewart; Roger Graig Smith (Arkham Origins) as Batman; Travis Willingham as President John F. Kennedy and Superior Man; William Sayers as Joseph Stalin; and Ave Zoli as Svetlana Alliluyeva, the youngest daughter of Stalin.
"Superman: Red Son" is scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2020 and is directed by Sam Liu ("Reign of the Supermen", "Justice League vs. the Fatal Five") from a script by J.M. DeMatteis ("Batman: Bad Blood", "Justice League Dark").
