The Nimona movie is back and headed to Netflix. The animated film adaptation of NG Stevenson’s acclaimed graphic was a casualty of Disney’s buyout of 20th Century Fox, canceled less than a year away from its scheduled release date. Stevenson previously confirmed that they were still shopping the project around to other potential buyers. Now Stevenson has confirmed that the film found a new home on Netflix and a new backing in co-producer Annapurna Films. As planned while at Fox, Nimona will feature Chloë Grace Moretz in the title role, with Riz Ahmed and Eugene Lee Yang in supporting roles. The film will debut on Netflix in 2023.

Nimona’s always been a spunky little story that just wouldn’t stop. She’s a fighter…but she’s also got some really awesome people fighting for her. I am excited out of my mind to announce that THE NIMONA MOVIE IS ALIVE…coming at you in 2023 from Annapurna and Netflix 🤘 pic.twitter.com/wEZuM2sXTt
