Method Animation and Shibuya Productions are teaming up on the project, which will have Miraculous – Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir creator and director Thomas Astruc directing the CG-animated series.
Tezuka’s original Astro Boy manga ran in Kobunsha’s Shonen magazine from 1952 to 1968, inspiring the first of a few anime adaptations in 1963.
Much like Miraculous before it, Astro Boy is hoping to pull together an international team of animators, including those from France and Japan.
