Keep Real (2026)

Set for release in 2026, "Keep Real" is a satirical superhero film that reimagines the genre through a lens of bureaucratic realism and social commentary. The narrative follows Wang Changhai, formerly known as Superman, who led the Superhero Association to repel an alien invasion three decades ago. Having saved the world, Wang returns to civilian life only to find himself entangled in mundane yet frustrating real-world dilemmas, such as the necessity of connections for obtaining official certificates and navigating complex social hierarchies.

In this new chapter, Wang attempts to assemble a local superhero squad, but quickly discovers that his greatest challenges are no longer extraterrestrial threats. Instead, he faces the absurdities of modern society, where maintaining one's identity and pursuing dreams require courage against systemic hurdles. The film explores themes of staying true to oneself and standing by one's beliefs despite life's relentless pressures, blending action with sharp satire.
