RBC, citing the head of Soyuzmultfilm, Yuliana Slashcheva, reported that the legendary film studio will spend 1-1.2 billion rubles on the production of films about Russian superheroes, which will be “an answer to Marvel.”
He admitted that with such a serious budget, the films would not be able to cover their expenses without government support. “The only way to break even is to sell television rights and OTT rights. From a film industry perspective, the statistics are not good. But that doesn’t mean we don’t need to develop our own projects anymore,” said Slashcheva.
It previously became known that the creator of the online cinema Okko and “Night Watch” Sergei Lukyanenko are working on a media franchise about superheroes “Order of the Red Star”. The project will consist of six feature films and a TV series that will air between the first and second films. According to the Soyuzmultfilm president, “We will spend all of 2025 pre-production, casting, testing, and researching the visual style of the series.” “We plan to go into production in 2026,” he shared.
Slashcheva added that Lukyanenko is one of the best Russian science fiction writers and that his hit works “appeared one after another.” Together with the writer Sergei Volkov, he developed a franchise based on the works of Soviet writers.
We have previously published a selection of the 92 best Soviet cartoons. We’re sure everyone should see this.
