'The Monkey King' strikes a pose in a new image from the upcoming animated feature.
As Netflix continues to expand its slate of original content produced outside the U.S., viewers can look forward to checking out some different stories and styles like the ones we’ll probably see in the upcoming animated fantasy movie The Monkey King. Slated to release in 2023, the story centers around the title character that fights his way through ancient China across a slate of powerful enemies.
The Monkey King is based on a famous Chinese 16th-century classic story that has been told countless times – but American audiences hardly know it. In the original story, the powerful monkey known as Sun Wukong is born from a magical stone and wields a stick as his primary weapon. This is what the adventure’s new image reveals: The title character with his stick on top of a tree and looking pretty confident.

Yang , Bowen Yang , Jolie Hoang-Rappaport , Jo Koy , Ron Yuan , Hoon Lee , Stephanie Hsu , Andrew Pang , Andrew Kishino , Jodi Long , James Sie and BD Wong .
The Monkey King is directed by Academy Award nominee Anthony Stacchi, who’s had plenty of experience with animated movies. He co-directed 2006's 2D animation Open Season and flew solo as director on stop-motion 3D The Boxtrolls. The screenplay of The Monkey King is co-written by Steve Bencich and Ron J. Friedman .
Netflix premieres The Monkey King this Summer. The streamer is yet to unveil further information, including a specific release date and trailer.
