The new trailer for Raya and the Last Dragon is here. The animated fantasy adventure will hit theaters and Disney+ Premium Access on March 5.
While December’s first trailer showcased the action and visuals, this new promo delivers a lot of plot. Kelly Marie Tran (Star Wars: The Last Jedi) plays Raya, a girl living in Kumandra, a land where dragons were once worshipped. The people of the land are at war with each other, so Raya sets out to locate the last remaining dragon to help restore peace. But what she finds isn’t exactly the spectacular beast we’re used to seeing in this sort of movie. It looks like a funny, exciting, and stunningly animated adventure–check the trailer out below.
Raya and the Last Dragon also stars Awkwafina (Ocean’s 8, The Farewell) as Sisu the dragon, plus Benedict Wong (Doctor Strange), Gemma Chan (Captain Marvel), Sandra Oh (Killing Eve), Daniel Dae Kim (Hellboy), and Alan Tudyk (Rogue One). It’s directed by Moana’s Don Hall and Carlos López Estrada, who previously helmed the acclaimed indie drama Blindspotting.
The movie was originally set for a theatrical release in November but was subsequently delayed to March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In December, Disney announced that it would hit Disney+ simultaneously with theaters. Like Mulan last year, the movie will be available to subscribers as a Premium Access title. The studio hasn’t announced how much Raya will cost, but Mulan cost $30 on top of the $7 per month subscription price.
Disney will also be releasing the next Pixar movie this summer. The film is titled Luca, and it’s set to hit theaters in July, with Up’s Enrico Casarosa directing.
