After debuting at the 2023 Annecy International Animation Film Festival, Inspector Sun will finally hit theaters next month.
The movie is set in the world of insects, and follows the titular character after deciding to take some time off to relax, traveling to San Francisco. However, a murder occurs during the flight, and Sun will have to put his skills to use to find out what happened.
Check out the new trailer and official synopsis for the movie below courtesy of Viva Pictures:
“After being fired from his detective job after a mission gone awry, Inspector Sun boards a seemingly normal plane for a much-needed vacation. When Dr. Spindlethorp receives a threat on his life, Sun is back on the case. Trapped in a web of lies, Sun must find his suspect before it’s too late.”
Inspector Sun stars Ronny Chieng, Emily Kleimo, Jennifer Childs Greer, Rich Orlow, and Iain Batchelor. The film is directed by Julio Soto Gurpide, from a script written by Rocco Pucillo.

Born in Malaysia, Ronny Chieng lived part of his life in Singapore, the United States and Australia, the latter country being where he took his first steps as an actor. Between 2012 and 2014 he participated in several Australian television series such as Legally Brown, or It’s a Date, and was part of the game show Have You Been Paying Attention?
In 2015, he got his first big opportunity by joining Comedy Central’s The Daily Show team as a correspondent, a role he continues to play to this day. Meanwhile, he kept collecting titles on the small screen, participating in other productions such as The Katering Show, Scissor Seven, Young Rock, Doogie Kameāloha, M.D., American Born Chinese, or Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens.
In 2018, he landed his first role in a movie, joining the box office hit Crazy Rich Asians, a film that many hope will soon get a sequel. This project allowed him to later be part of other great blockbusters such as Godzilla vs. Kong, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, or M3GAN.
