An iconic comic book from Mark Millar (Kick-Ass, Kingsman, Wanted) comes to life in the first teaser trailer for Jupiter’s Legacy.
The 45-second trailer literally shows some of the images from the 2013 comic, written by Millar, drawn by Frank Quitely with coloring and lettering by Peter Doherty, coming to life.
Josh Duhamel is practically unrecognizable as Sheldon Sampson, a.k.a. The Utopian, one of the first ever superheroes in this magical world.

The trailer begins with the cover to the first issue of Millar’s comic, and some of the characters from the pages within.
These characters are all seen morphing from the comic book version to the live-action TV adaptation version.
The first image features a glimpse at the villainous Blackstar, portrayed by Tyler Mane.
