The reboot film based on Tsuburaya Productions' first Ultraman TV series in 1966 was released in 362 theaters across Japan on May 13, 2022, then dominated Japan's weekend box office for two consecutive weeks, until it was defeated by Top Gun Maverick in its third weekend.

Tsuburaya Productions describes the story of Shin Ultraman as follows:

 

The continued appearance of giant unidentified lifeforms known as “S-Class Species” has become commonplace in Japan.

 

Conventional weapons have no effect on them. Having exhausted all other options, the Japanese Government issued the S-Class Species Suppression Protocol and formed an enforcement unit, known as the SSSP.

 

The members chosen for the unit are: Leader Fumio Tamura (played by Hidetoshi Nishijima), Executive Strategist Shinji Kaminaga (played by Takumi Saitoh), Unparticle Physicist Taki Akihisa (played by Daiki Arioka), and Universal Biologist Yume Funaberi (Akari Hayami).

 

In the midst of a Kaiju threat, a silver giant appears from beyond Earth’s atmosphere.

 

Analyst Hiroko Asami (played by Masami Nagasawa) is newly appointed to the SSSP to deal with this giant and is partnered with Shinji Kaminaga.

 

In Hiroko’s report, she writes—

 

“Ultraman (tentative name), identity unknown.”
