Bolstering part of Netflix’s international releases in July 2021 will be a French superhero movie How I Became a Super Hero which seems like a mix between The Incredibles, The Boys, and Jupiter’s Legacy.
The movie is adapted from the novel by Gérald Bronner and first premiered at the Deauville Film Festival back in September 2020. It was then sold to Netflix. How I Became a Super Hero is set to arrive on Netflix globally on July 9th, 2021.
It’s one of a number of high-profile superhero titles to come out of Europe for Netflix as of late. Just earlier this year, the Italian series Zero released with 8 episodes.
