Upcoming Italian Superhero Movie ‘Bunny-Man’ Reveals New Images and Cast Members

You might have heard the legend of the Bunny Man, an urban legend about a man in a bunny costume who attacks and kills people. You might also have heard of the movie Bunny-Man, which is scheduled to be released next year. What do these two have in common, save for the name? Absolutely nothing, but it was a good introduction so we went for it!

Bunny-Man is an upcoming Italian superhero film that is set to be released in 2025. The movie is set to start shooting in Italy very soon, and we are going to reveal some new information about the cast and the crew.

Namely, as it turns out, more cast members have been confirmed for the upcoming movie, and we’ve also received some first-look images at the enigmatic titular superhero who is, according to the crew, going to change our perception of superheroes in general when it comes out.

The film will be brought to us by Italian filmmaker Andrea Iervolino (Ferrari), and will, according to Deadline, tell the story of “an anonymous multimillionaire superhero who strikes against evil forces while wearing a rabbit mask. He is driven by the desire to avenge his sister who committed suicide after being attacked, images of which wound up on the internet.”

Iervolino believes that the movie will be an interesting and refreshing change in the world of superhero movies, saying the following about the movie:

“I believe Bunny-Man will revolutionize the way we think of superheroes. This character embodies both mystery and modernity, not just in his story but in how the audience relates to him. It’s a privilege to produce Italy’s first superhero franchise, and I’m confident it will leave a lasting impact on the global market.”
