New Astro Boy Reboot poster posted online (May 2026)

Source: Mediawan Kids & Family (Linkedin)

Shared to me through a source on Tumblr which wishes to be kept anonymous, a new poster for the current Astro Boy Reboot was shared by Mediawan Kids & Family's Linkedin page on May 21, 2026!

This is in anticipation for their event at Annecy Festival 2026 in France showing the work-in-progress (WIP) aspect of Astro Boy Reboot; the event will occur on Wednesday, June 24, 2026 from 9 AM to 10 AM Central European Time.

Most notably, Atom's (Astro's) character design has changed again, perhaps to take the criticism from fans to heart in order to improve his character design. What do you think about how he looks now?

Also, it appears that a city that looks very similar to Divercity from the original Caribara Animation version of Astro Boy Reboot is in the background of this poster. Perhaps a nod to the original version of Astro Boy Reboot?

Ohh, so that’s how they look like.

(For context: I bought a deck of BJ playing cards during my latest visit to the Osamu Tezuka Manga Musuem two years ago but it remains unopened to this day because I wanted to preserve the cards in all their beauty and whatnot.

(Perhaps it’s about time I opened it…)
