After the Netflix premiere of Minnal Murali and the success of Detective Ujjwalan, producer Sophia Paul of Weekend Blockbusters introduces a new original superhero to the Weekend Cinematic Universe - Captain Raaj: The First Glitch. Developed in collaboration with Carmond Infinity, Captain Raaj is envisioned as a transmedia franchise spanning comics, animation, games, merchandise, and more.
Captain Raaj: The First Glitch is the next bold step in the Weekend Cinematic Universe - but this time, the story unfolds in a parallel timeline, disconnected from the heroes we already know. A glitch in the system. A new origin. A different kind of superhero.
The journey begins with a comic book (now available at www.captainraaj.com) and an animated trailer already live on YouTube. This official launch at AM Summit 2025 will feature key industry announcements and a special reveal on stage that will expand the Captain Raaj universe.
