The Millarworld might have started off on the wrong foot, but it’s still happening at Netflix. At the recent Tudum event, the streaming platform revealed the first look at the upcoming anime adaptation of Mark Millar’s Supercrooks, the comic book miniseries launched by Millar originally with artist Lenil Francis Yu in 2012. The series is called Super Crooks and it will follow a band of supervillains attempting to put on the heist of the century. Their plan will go down in Europe, because there are too many superheroes in America. The freshly released trailer introduces the ill-intentioned gang and sets the tone for the series that will debut on Nov. 25.

Earlier this year, several reports indicated that Netflix was working on a live-action series for Supercrooks. At the moment of writing, it’s not clear if that project is still moving forward.
The official description for the Super Crooks anime reads:
“In this anime adaptation, small-time crook Johnny Bolt recruits the ultimate crew for one last heist — for real! From comic book legend Mark Millar, this super-powered heist story about eight super-villains is jam-packed with action and told in 13x 30-minute episodes lushly produced by Bones.”
Netflix has also debuted a poster for Super Crooks. Check it out here below.
