Synopsis: Directed by ZHAO Ji, New Gods: Yang Jian is the second installment of the studio’s “New Gods” series of animated action-fantasy epics inspired by Chinese mythological figures, following the 2021 feature New Gods: Nezha Reborn. Enter the New Gods universe where Chinese mythology is reimagined in a wildly original, steampunk-inspired world. The latest feature from powerhouse Chinese animation studio Light Chaser Animation (White Snake, New Gods: Nezha Reborn), the film presents a timeless, high-flying adventure featuring one of the most legendary mythic figures.

Thirteen years after Yang Jian imprisoned his sister, the once-powerful hero also known as Erlang Shen now scrapes by as a poor bounty hunter. When a mysterious woman hires him, Yang Jian soon finds himself chasing down a familiar figure. He must stop Chenxiang, his long-lost nephew, who searches for a powerful, but dangerous artifact. As Yang Jian confronts his past, he must face treacherous vigilantes seeking to bring catastrophic destruction.
