‘Ray Gunn’ trailer: ‘The Incredibles’ director Brad Bird cooks up a wild sci-fi mystery

Grab your blaster and strap on your jet pack, because Ray Gunn‘s new trailer is taking us on a ride to the future.

Ray Gunn is the latest film from The Incredibles and Ratatouille director Brad Bird, who has been working on the story since the ’90s, even before the release of his debut feature, The Iron Giant. Now, his passion project comes to life, with a star-studded cast to boot.

Sam Rockwell voices Ray Gunn, the last private eye in the sprawling city of Metropia. He and his partner, alien Eyera (voiced by Tom Waits), are strapped for cash and desperate for a new mystery to solve. They get more than they bargained for in their next case: a murder with ties to megastar Venus Nova (voiced by Scarlett Johansson).

As Ray digs deeper into the case, he finds himself deep in the criminal underbelly of Metropia — and growing closer to Venus at every second. In this dizzying blend of sci-fi and noir, will Ray be able to find the truth?

Check out the full trailer above for a closer look at the dazzling skyscrapers of Metropia, as well as airborne chase sequences, alien smackdowns, and more.

Ray Gunn premieres in select theaters Dec. 4, and hits Netflix Dec. 18.
