New Images and Cast Revealed for Upcoming Italian Superhero Film Bunny-Man

You may have heard the urban legend of the Bunny Man—a figure in a rabbit costume who terrorizes and attacks people. Or you might have heard of Bunny-Man, an upcoming movie slated for release next year. Do these two have anything in common besides the name? Not at all! But it makes for an intriguing start, so we went with it.

Bunny-Man is an Italian superhero film set to premiere in 2025, with production kicking off in Italy soon. Today, we’re excited to share new details about the cast and crew.

Recently confirmed cast members have joined the lineup, and we’ve gotten our first look at the mysterious titular superhero. According to the creative team, Bunny-Man aims to redefine what audiences expect from superhero films.

The film is directed by Italian filmmaker Andrea Iervolino (Ferrari) and, according to Deadline, follows the story of “an anonymous multimillionaire-turned-superhero who fights against evil while donning a rabbit mask.” His mission is fueled by a deep desire for revenge after his sister’s tragic suicide, following an assault that was captured and circulated online.

Curious about the look of this mysterious character, reportedly played by Iervolino himself? Here’s an exclusive first-look image we received:

Iervolino sees the film as a fresh and intriguing addition to the superhero genre, stating:

I believe Bunny-Man will revolutionize the way we think of superheroes. This character embodies both mystery and modernity, not just in his story but in how the audience relates to him. It’s a privilege to produce Italy’s first superhero franchise, and I’m confident it will leave a lasting impact on the global market.

Emanuele Moretti, CEO of Motus Studios (the film’s backer), shared his excitement, saying, “We strongly believe on the commercial potential of Bunny-Man; we really think it can a start of a very unique independent superhero saga.”

The movie is planned as the first installment in a trilogy, with an impressive cast that includes Mike Tyson, Bella Thorne, and James Franco, along with Michele Morrone (365 Days), Franco Nero (Django), and Ana Golja.

That’s all we know for now! Filming will begin in Italy soon, and the movie is set for a 2025 release. Stay tuned for more updates as we learn more—follow us to stay in the loop!
