Morpheus' highly-anticipated live-action debut finally has a release date.
Netflix confirmed at its Geeked Week presentation that the adaptation of the popular comic book series by Neil Gaiman from the 90s is finally headed to the still-leading streaming platform on August 5.
To help celebrate this momentous occasion, Netflix also dropped an epic full-length trailer for The Sandman.
Netflix's The Sandman boasts a star-studded cast that includes the likes of Game of Thrones alumni and fan-favorites, Charles Dance and Gwendoline Christie, as well as Tom Sturridge, Boyd Holbrook, David Thewlis, and Jenna Coleman. In addition to the ensemble cast, The Sandman also features the series' creator, Neil Gaiman, as a producer alongside the showrunner of Apple TV+'s Foundation, David S. Goyer, with Wonder Woman writer, Allan Heinberg, serving as the showrunner.
If you're not that familiar with The Sandman, we don't blame you. Even if the comic books have attracted the interest of many studios over the years, the series arguably peaked back in the 90s. It's also often overshadowed by other more popular DC Comics properties, as well as that of its competition over at Marvel.
