New Gods: Nezha Reborn (Chinese: 新神榜：哪吒重生) is a 2021 Chinese 3D animated fantasy action film directed by Zhao Ji and written by Mu Chuan, based on the character of Nezha from the Ming dynasty novel Investiture of the Gods. In the film, a steampunk and cyberpunk take on the story, Nezha is reincarnated as Li Yunxiang in the fictional city of Donghai (loosely based on 1920s Shanghai) and must settle a 3,000-year-old grudge with the Dragon Clan. New Gods: Yang Jian was released in 2022 as a sequel to this film.
The film was released in mainland China on 12 February 2021 (Chinese New Year). Netflix acquired global rights to the film except in China, and it was released on the platform on 12 April 2021.
New Gods: Nezha Reborn is not related to the 2019 film Ne Zha; they came from different production companies and have different distributors. Both films are loosely based on the same Ming Dynasty novel.
