Jeb ★ Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 Quote WWE superstars don't get more legendary than Rey Mysterio, and now the star is taking on the realm of cartoon animation. Today it was announced that Mysterio will star in the new Cartoon Network Latin America series Rey Mysterio vs. The Darkness (La Oscuridad), and it will be produced by Mexcian studio ¡Viva Calavera! in conjunction with Mysterio. The series will have 10 episodes and will premiere in Latin America in 2022, and as you can see in the images below, the series is embracing the visual style of wrestling, Lucha Libre, anime, and American animation. "Having an action-comedy series on Cartoon Network is a dream come true. That it puts Mexico and Lucha Libre at the center even more, but that it stars Rey Mysterio, whom we have admired since we were children, is simply indescribable. We believe that fans will greatly appreciate this new series, the result of the work and passion of so many people ", added the Skull Brothers, founders of the studio ¡Viva Calavera! You can find the official description for Rey Mysterio vs The Darkness below. "Rey Mysterio vs. La Oscuridad tells the story of Oscar , a wrestling fan, who will team up with his idol, Rey Mysterio , to face supernatural beings and fight against the forces of evil; villains from the world of wrestling and characters from Mexican traditions and the world of fantasy. Behind these extraordinary opponents is Uroboros , an evil fighter who uses dark forces that he does not fully understand. Rey Mysterio and Oscar must work together and do their best to defend the city and themselves from his evil plans." Source: ComicBook.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senex Beast Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 That's cool for Rey and his young fans. For latin kids it'll be like a new Mucha Lucha! type animated show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A N T I - Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 Not sure what I was expecting from the art style but that wasn’t it. I guess I expected something more visually impressive. I hate how square everything looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mani-Man Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 Looks neat i have to say. How popular is Rey even to Latinos and lucha libre...i never really looked into that, but considering his career and all, i would assume he is a huge name...certainly big enough to get his own cartoon.

Rey needs to start in a movie as himself to reach Blue Demon and El Santo status. Ricochet would be a great side kick character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
