The live-action series will be showrun by M. Raven Metzner (<em>Iron Fist<\/em>, <em>Sleepy Hollow<\/em>, <em>Star Trek: Discovery<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>Masayuki Ozaki of Bandai Namco Pictures, a producer on the original series, will executive produce the new live-action show, alongside Filosophia CEO Tetsu Fujimura (<em>Cowboy Bebop<\/em>, <em>Ghost in the Shell<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>SK Global\u2019s John Penotti, Charlie Corwin and Marcy Ross said, \u201cWe are very excited to translate <em>Tiger &amp; Bunny<\/em> into a live-action series as we, M. Raven Metzner and our partners at Bandai Namco Pictures believe in the universal and timeless appeal of this unique narrative. The colorful characters, great action sequences, humor, spectacle and mystery are spot on live-action hallmarks for contemporary actors, filmmakers and audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ozaki stated, \u201cAdapting <em>Tiger &amp; Bunny<\/em> takes the understanding and support of our accomplished partner SK Global, who are committed to their work with Asian IPs and partners. Now with M. Raven Metzner, a talented showrunner with a love for <em>Tiger &amp; Bunny<\/em>, we fully expect this will be an adaptation that captures the essence of the original series, while bringing something new and fresh for a worldwide audience to enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Raven Metzner added, \u201cAs a massive fan of the <em>Tiger &amp; Bunny<\/em> anime series, I am thrilled to be a part of the team bringing this unique and vibrant story to life as a live-action series. We\u2019ve got a really cool take on a superhero story, a new angle on what it means to be a hero that explores how social media and reality television affect us all so deeply in this moment. I couldn\u2019t dream of better partners to realize this with than SK Global. They are uniquely positioned with an international mindset that will, I think, be crucial in bringing this cast of diverse, grounded heroes to the small screen.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SK Global (Crazy Rich Asians, Hell or High Water) is set to develop a live-action series adaptation of the Japanese anime Tiger &amp; Bunny.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":16945,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[5027,4234],"class_list":["post-16944","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-bandai-namco-pictures","tag-sk-global","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>SK Global Options Rights to Tiger &amp; Bunny - TVDRAMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/sk-global-options-rights-to-tiger-bunny\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"SK Global Options Rights to Tiger &amp; Bunny - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"SK Global (Crazy Rich Asians, Hell or High Water) is set to develop a live-action series adaptation of the Japanese anime Tiger &amp; Bunny.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/sk-global-options-rights-to-tiger-bunny\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-06-03T14:35:03+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/07\/SKGlobal-TigerBunny-0622.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"320\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/sk-global-options-rights-to-tiger-bunny\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/sk-global-options-rights-to-tiger-bunny\/\",\"name\":\"SK Global Options Rights to Tiger &amp; Bunny - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-06-03T14:35:03+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-06-03T14:35:03+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/sk-global-options-rights-to-tiger-bunny\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/sk-global-options-rights-to-tiger-bunny\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/sk-global-options-rights-to-tiger-bunny\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"SK Global Options Rights to Tiger &amp; Bunny\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
