Directed by Alexandre Heboyan, Asterix and the Kingdom of Nubia is a new cinematic adventure inspired by the universe created by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo. The original story is by Alexandre de La Patellière and Matthieu Delaporte. The film will be released in theaters in France on December 2, 2026.
In this unprecedented adventure, the Gauls leave their village for a distant journey. Asterix and Obelix travel to Nubia, a territory located south of ancient Egypt, to fulfill a new mission. Their journey leads them to encounter new peoples and unexpected challenges.
The duo travels through little-known environments of the Gallo-Roman world. This exploration paves the way for a plot that combines ancient cultures, clashes, and humor specific to the characters imagined by Goscinny and Uderzo.
The film is a continuation of the comic book adaptations that began in the 1960s. Alexandre Heboyan, known for his work in animation, has created a feature film that is in tune with the world of Asterix. The story was developed by Alexandre de La Patellière and Matthieu Delaporte, screenwriters and dialogue writers active in French cinema. The project is based on an original story that does not directly adapt an existing comic book.
The tone announced favors adventure, escapism, and humor. The story targets a family audience fond of revisited historical tales and action comedies set in exotic locations.
