Electra Woman and Dyna Girl (stylized as Electra Woman & Dyna Girl) is an upcoming American superhero comedy film that is a reboot of the 1976 television series of the same name. The film stars YouTube personalities, Grace Helbig and Hannah Hart as Electra Woman and Dyna Girl, respectively. The film will be released through digital platforms by Legendary Digital Studios and Fullscreen on June 7, 2016, and on DVD on July 5. The film centers around the superhero duo as they fight crime in their local Akron, Ohio, before relocating to Los Angeles.

Plot

Electra Woman (Helbig) and Dyna Girl (Hart) are two amateur superheros who fight crime in their local city of Akron, Ohio. Wanting to be noticed for their actions, they accept an offer to relocate to Los Angeles.[1] Consequentially they find themselves overwhelmed in the crowded superhero business, and additionally suffer from fighting amongst themselves, as Dyna Girl is displeased with being viewed as Electra Woman's sidekick.[2]

Production and release

In February 2015, Legendary Entertainment and Fullscreen announced the project,[3] originally not clarifying whether it would be released through a digital or television platform.[4] The film is now set for a June 7, 2016 release on all major digital platforms, with Fullscreen distributing the film in the United States, and Legendary overseeing global distribution;[5] a July 5 DVD release via Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has also been scheduled.[1]

Helbig detailed that the film shot for a month and a half in Vancouver.[6] During the film's production, Helbig detailed in an Entertainment Weekly interview that, "When we create these characters, we want them to feel authentic," adding "I know as an audience member myself, watching YouTube videos and wanting to consume other forms of content, I resonate with the personalities I think are the most transparent."[7] In July, a teaser trailer was screened at VidCon 2015.[8] A full trailer was released in March 2016.[9]
