Netflix saves Disney's canceled movie Nimona
Netflix has officially picked up Nimona, an animated adaptation of ND Stevenson's graphic novel of the same name, after Disney scrapped the project following its acquisition of 20th Century Fox in 2020.
The fantasy movie, which is set to feature the voice talents of Eugene Lee Yang, Chloë Grace Moretz and Riz Ahmed, was initially announced back in 2015, and was being developed by Fox's Blue Sky – but looked to be canceled when the Mouse House shut down the studio five years later. Early last year, production kicked off again with DNEG Animation.
On April 11, Stevenson took to Twitter to share the news of its revival, writing: "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."
