The film stars the voices of Creator/ChristopherSean, Gedde Watanabe, Creator/TamlynTomita, Creator/KeoneYoung, and Julia Harriman. Creator/IndustrialLightAndMagic handles the animation.

Sean plays Ken Sato, a baseball superstar with the secret ability to transform into the towering hero Ultraman. On what should be a routine battle with a rampaging kaiju, Ken find himself the unlikely caretaker of a giant kaiju infant, bringing him into conflict with both the Kaiju Defense Force and his estranged father. The film will release on Creator/{{Netflix}} June 14, 2024.

'''Previews:''' [[https://youtu.be/_YGosxAnZ4Q?si=9DnuQaHhVjHpzZr0 Teaser]]
----
!!Recurring ''Ultra Series'' tropes:
* CriticalAnnoyance: In the trailer, as he runs out of time to exist in his current form, Ultraman's color time blinks increasingly rapidly, producing a grating noise.
* HenshinHero: A staple of the franchise, with Ken Sato shown in the trailer as being Ultraman's host and capable of transforming into the hero.
* {{Kaiju}}: The teaser features both a dragon-like kaiju that interrupts Ken's baseball game and the fish-like baby monster that imprints onto Ultraman.
!!''Ultraman Rising'' includes examples of the following:
* AndThisIsFor: Said by Ken as he punches out the Kaiju attacking during his match, as shown in the trailer.
-->'''Ken:''' And that is for messing up my game!
* BadBadActing: Displayed at the end of the trailer. When Ken realises that the world at large in unaware of his “son”, he starts treating the baby monster like a regular rampaging threat.
* BreakingOldTrends: While past Ultras have been portrayed as capable of communicating with humans (often through implied telepathy), this movie's Ultraman is the first whose speech is treated as vocal, as demonstrated when, near the end of the trailer, a crowd of onlookers understand his attempts to communicate with the baby kaiju.
* CelebrityMasquerade: When not transformed, Ken Sato is depicted in the trailer as a baseball player.
* CompanyCrossReferences: A released shot features a cameo of Ollie from ''Series/LostOllie'', which was previously produced by Creator/IndustrialLightAndMagic and also directed by Shannon Tindle.
* {{Expy}}: WordOfGod has confirmed that, despite looking very similar, the movie's Ultra is a separate individual from [[Series/{{Ultraman}} the original Ultraman]].
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: When Ultraman attempts to talk with the baby kaiju towards the end of the teaser, a billboard portraying a father holding his son can be seen behind the duo, mirroring their current interaction.
* GiantFlyer: The first teaser portrays Ultraman and the Kaiju Defense Force fending off a massive dragon-like monster.
* {{Imprinting}}: In the trailer, after the kaiju baby hatches, an AI tells Ken that it thinks he’s (Ultraman) her mother.
* MythologyGag:
** The kaiju seen in the teaser uses the same roar as past kaiju from the ''Franchise/UltraSeries'' such as [[Series/UltraQ Pagos]] and [[Series/{{Ultraman}} Neronga]], which itself was previously used by monsters from the ''[[Franchise/{{Godzilla}} Godzilla]]'' franchise such as [[Film/VaranTheUnbelievable Varan]] and [[Film/FrankensteinConquersTheWorld Baragon]].
** A shot towards the end of the teaser trailer features storefronts referencing classic foes of the original Ultraman, with a [[Recap/UltramanEp1UltraOperation01 Bemular]]-themed ramen shop, a coffee shop named after [[Recap/UltramanEp7TheBlueStoneOfBarraj Antlar]] and a pair of black-and-white posters referencing [[Recap/UltramanEp28HumanSpecimens5And6 Alien Dada]].
* NoObjectPermanence: Given that it imprinted onto Ken-as-Ultraman, the baby throws a tantrum in the trailer after failing to realize that Ken is their "mother" when he transforms back.
* PaintedCGI: As the trailer shows, the movie's 3d art style is repeatedly complimented with painted shots that accentuate the film's action, similar to its use in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse''.
* PowerGlows: In the teaser, Ultraman's fists glow blue when delivering strikes.
* ShoutOut: Towards the end of the teaser, VideoGame/PacMan appears on a billboard.
* SmallParentHugeChild: An InterspeciesAdoption variant of this trope is shown in the trailer. When not transformed into Ultraman, Ken struggles with raising a monstrous child that towers over him and spits lasers.
