Newly released photos from the set of Matt Damon’s sci-fi movie ‘Thasnagar’ confirm early costume leaks with nods to the Power Rangers.
Matt Damon is set to star in the highly anticipated sci-fi film titled Thasnagar, with new photos from the Los Angeles set revealing costumes that confirm previous rumors. The filmmakers, known as the Daniels—Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert—announced this project, marking their first collaboration since their acclaimed film Everything Everywhere All at Once.
This update comes from ComicBook.com on September 4, 2026, shedding light on a previously secretive production. Set against a backdrop that intertwines the 1980s and present day, the film is expected to feature an engaging narrative that touches on climate change, emphasizing the plight of a young group of heroes.
Photos obtained by TMZ showcase Damon dressed in a bright red superhero costume, complete with a flowing cape, gold trim, and a distinctive rounded helmet with a tinted visor. He is also seen with castmates in blue, pink, and yellow suits, reminiscent of the Power Rangers aesthetic. This visual connection suggests a playful homage to 1990s superhero culture and gives fans a glimpse into the film’s intriguing direction.
As the film moves into early filming stages, the costume details align with early leaks hinting at a playful structure inspired by Power Rangers iconography, as well as western superhero tropes. While specific plot points remain under wraps, interest is rapidly growing around the film’s distinctive visual style and thematic elements.
The filmmaking duo, Kwan and Scheinert, gained recognition for their ability to artistically blend humor and emotional depth. Their previous film, Everything Everywhere All at Once, was a box office hit, grossing over $100 million worldwide and winning seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture. This success raises expectations for Thasnagar, particularly in its ability to combine spectacle with meaningful storytelling.
Though the narrative specifics for Thasnagar are not fully confirmed, current leaks suggest that Damon and Sandra Oh will portray parents in the 1980s, while the present day features an older Damon guiding a team of young heroes. The ensemble cast also includes notable actors such as Charles Melton, Michael Gandolfini, and PinkPantheress, amplifying excitement for the film.
Thasnagar is reported to carry a substantial budget exceeding $150 million. This investment is significantly higher than that of Everything Everywhere All at Once, allowing Kwan and Scheinert to explore bolder creative possibilities.
The release date for Thasnagar is set for November 19, 2027. While there is a considerable lead time before audiences can enjoy this film, the confirmation of these details is likely to maintain and even increase audience engagement and anticipation.
The early release of costume photos from Thasnagar has confirmed exciting rumors concerning the film’s playful approach to superhero themes. This project not only marks a new collaboration for a successful filmmaking duo but also invites audiences to expect a mix of visual spectacle and emotional resonance, much like their previous work. The film's themes, rooted in real-world challenges like climate change, ensure that while it may embrace a whimsical aesthetic, it will likely tackle significant societal issues.
As more information is revealed, audiences can anticipate further developments regarding the narrative structure and character arcs, while the confirmed details have already set a solid foundation for ongoing excitement and discussions within the film community.
