While everyone on the internet is gushing over the new
Avengers: Endgame trailer, Disney Channel released a surprise trailer for the upcoming live-action
Kim Possible movie. The network also announced it will premiere on February 15, 2019.
The trailer offers us our first proper look at the upcoming movie, which is based on Disney's popular animated series from the early 2000s. It looks like a pretty faithful adaptation of the original series with stars Sadie Stanley and Sean Giambrone bringing to life Kim Possible and her sidekick Ron Stoppable, respectively.
As for the synopsis, it sounds pretty on the mark as well. The film will follow the teenage Kim as she attempts to navigate her freshman year of high school while also saving the world from dastardly super villains. While there's a certain cheese factor to Disney Channel original movies, the fact that it so closely resembles the original source material should please fans.
“Kim Possible” begins as Kim and her best friend and sidekick, Ron Stoppable, start Middleton High School where Kim must navigate an intimidating new social hierarchy. She is ready to tackle the challenge head-on, just as she has with everything else in life, but her confidence is shaken when she faces roadblocks at every turn—getting lost in the confusing hallways, being late to class and facing rejection during soccer tryouts from her frenemy, Bonnie. Kim’s day starts to turn around when she and Ron meet and befriend Athena, a new classmate and Kim Possible superfan who is having an even worse day than Kim. With Kim’s guidance and friendship, Athena transforms into the newest member of Team Possible. Soon, Athena starts to eclipse Kim just as the nefarious Drakken and Shego resurface in Middleton with a master plan to finally stop Kim. Now it’s up to Team Possible—Kim, Ron, tech-genius Wade, new friend Athena and Rufus, a Naked mole-rat that Ron meets along the way—to stop these super villains.
Kim Possible will premiere on the Disney Channel on Friday, February 15, 2019.
