Netflix and director Nacho Vigalondo, who previously brought us Timecrimes and Colossal, seem to be inspired, believe it or not, by a certain 80s superhero comedy with the upcoming series The Neighbor. Based on the comic by Santiago García and Pepo Pérez, The Neighbor stars Quim Gutiérrez as Javier, a regular guy who is chosen by an alien to receive superpowers, which he uses to become a superhero named The Titan, mostly to impress his girlfriend. There’s definitely seems to be a lot of The Greatest American Hero here, with Javier trying to figure out his powers and becoming a hero but with a much cooler and modern super suit and special effects. The series arrives on Netflix on December 31st and you can check out the trailer below.
