Next Gen is a 2018 animated science fiction action film that is based on the online manhua 7723 by Wang Nima (which was originally published in Baozou Manhua,[3] which Wang founded and led), and is directed by Kevin R. Adams and Joe Ksander. The film stars the voices of Charlyne Yi, John Krasinski, Jason Sudeikis, Michael Peña, David Cross and Constance Wu. It tells the story of Mai Su, a lonely rebellious teenage girl living in a world where sentient robot technology is commonplace, and 7723, a top-secret weaponized robot, who, through a chance encounter, meet each other and form an unlikely bond that they must use to stop a vicious threat. The film was released on Netflix on September 7, 2018, and was produced almost exclusively using Blender.
