New posters for the Cowboy Bebop live-action series depict the villains who will appear in the show. Netflix is set to debut its adaptation of the original 1998 Cowboy Bebop anime series on November 19. The highly-anticipated reboot stars John Cho as Spike Spiegel, Mustafa Shakir as Jet Black, and Daniella Pineda as Faye Valentine.
In Cowboy Bebop, Spike, Jet and Faye form the misfit crew of the Bebop, Black's starship. Together, the crew takes jobs across the galaxy, collecting bounties to earn a living while keeping the Bebop in a workable condition. Recently, the release of Cowboy Bebop character posters revealed a more detailed look at the Bebop's core crew, as well as beloved enhanced corgi Ein, Spike's nemesis, Vicious (Alex Hassell), and his complex love interest Julia (Elena Satine). Now, a new set of posters highlights the hardened criminals that reside in Cowboy Bebop's galaxy.
Released on Twitter by the official Cowboy Bebop account, each of the new posters is stylized as a 'wanted' poster. The images are complete with character profiles, lists of charges, and the bounty placed on their heads. The posters highlight on-the-run syndicate member Asimov Solensan (Jan Uddin), thief Abdul Hakim (Cali Nelle), terrorist Maria Murdock (Adrienne Barbeau), assassin Pierrot Le Fou (Josh Randall), and the Teddy Bomber (Rodney Cook). Each character is seemingly directly inspired by those in the original anime's 26 episode run, in which each of them had their own episode. Check out the character posters below.
Each character was first teased in Cowboy Bebop's opening credits in September, which offered a brief glimpse of them in the sequence. While this set of posters omits Vicious from the line-up, the character is set to be a major antagonist for the show. Once Spike's partner in another lifetime, the swordsman had since risen through the criminal ranks, becoming a high-ranking gangster in the Red Dragon Crime Syndicate. Other characters from the shadier sides of the Cowboy Bebop galaxy that have yet to be featured are crime boss Mao (Rachel House) and Vicious's enforcers Shin and Lin (Ann Truong and Hoa Xuande).
The latest set of posters for Cowboy Bebop offers fans a better look at the series' villains in a flashy, on-brand manner that fits in with the stylized marketing material that Netflix has released so far. The posters capture the tone of the world and feel authentic to the Cowboy Bebop universe. Though the images only provide a brief glimpse at their characters, it's clear that viewers will be treated to a variety of weird and wonderful villains when Cowboy Bebop premieres, who will hopefully do justice to the original anime source material.
