How Netflix's New Gods Nezha Reborn Sets Up a Sequel

There isn't a direct sequel in the strict sense to the classic film 'Nezha Conquers the Dragon King' — that 1979 animated piece from Shanghai Animation is basically a standalone retelling of the famous myth.. New Gods: Nezha Reborn 2 is officially happening, as confirmed by Light Chaser Animation and 2021's New Gods: Nezha Reborn itself. The original animated Netflix movie actually requests that audiences stick around for a post-credits scene, which does indeed tease the sequel, New Gods: Nezha Reborn 2.

The finale of New Gods: Nezha Reborn, as well as the film's post-credits scenes, directly clue us into what we can expect from next year's sequel.. New Gods: Nezha Reborn is not related to the 2019 film Ne Zha; they came from different production companies and have different distributors. Both films are loosely based on the same Ming Dynasty novel. [10][11][12]
