The next superhero flick coming to Disney+ isn’t what you think. It doesn’t feature a well-known Marvel hero. But it does feature a superpowered squirrel.
In Flora & Ulysses, a girl rescues a squirrel only to discover he has extraordinary powers. Check out the trailer below.
It may not be a MCU movie, but Disney is certainly taking advantage of their Marvel rights for this one. The trailer opens with shots of Marvel comics heroes Captain Marvel, Iron Man, and more familiar faces.
The family-friendly comedy-adventure is based on the Newbery Award-winning book by Kate DiCamillo. Here’s the official synopsis from Disney:
Flora & Ulysses follows 10-year-old Flora, an avid comic book fan and a self-avowed cynic, whose parents have recently separated. After rescuing a squirrel she names Ulysses, Flora is amazed to discover he possesses unique superhero powers, which take them on an adventure of humorous complications that ultimately change Flora’s life – and her outlook – forever.
The film stars Matilda Lawler as Flora. Alyson Hannigan and Ben Schwartz play her parents. Additional cast members include Anna Deavere Smith, Danny Pudi, Benjamin Evans Ainsworth, Janeane Garofolo, and Kate McCucci.
Flora & Ulysses premieres exclusively on Disney+ Friday, February 19.
