Straczynski further said that the film is “already finished and in the can” and that “it feels the most B5-ish of anything we’ve done since the original show.”[3] The film's title, first-look image, voice cast, producers, and director were revealed on May 10, 2023. The film will be directed by Matt Peters, who previously worked on another animated film for Warner Bros. Animation and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, titled Batman and Superman: Battle of the Super Sons. Most of the original Babylon 5 cast, including Bruce Boxleitner, are set to return. The film will be produced by Sam Register.[4] On May 12, Straczynski gave an update about the upcoming Babylon 5 animated movie on his social media. Straczynski stated that a final update would be coming in mid-June, and would include the release date and plot summary, as well as a trailer and information on how to view the film upon its debut.[5] On May 17, the film was officially rated PG-13.[6]
