My Boyfriend is a Superhero!?
CHOOSE YOUR PROTAGONIST
My Boyfriend is a Superhero!? is the first film in the history of cinema where the audience chooses the protagonist, given the choice between two Abigails.
“When a billionaire’s secretary uncovers her boss is secretly a vigilante superhero, she is thrust into a high-stakes battle of secret identities, corporate intrigue, and an AI bent on taking control.”
The superhero romcom is also the first completely AI 3D animated feature film, with all sound, music, videos, animation and performances machine generated. To this date there have only been hybrid CG animated features with AI components; as outlined in Jackson’s New Machine Cinema doctrine, he furthers the mission of a fully machine cinema.
A demonstration of Jackson’s tenet of machine cinema theory, The True Line Cut, which posits that a film represents its artistic process on screen, including its mistakes, like “a film made in one single brushstroke”; Jackson built an experimental True Line edit which includes changing character models, as well as the main cut of the film with several minor items of True Line philosophy on screen.
The film furthers Jackson’s methodology in AI editing, becoming the first film with agentic AI editing in the production of the film, using autonomous systems to propose and place elements inside the cut. (‘DreadClub: Vampire’s Verdict,’ used LLMs to dictate paper edits.)
The film also contains what is now recognized as the earliest breach of the live-action threshold in an AI feature film. Approximately fifteen minutes of the film — featuring the Eagle, Chick (Joan), and Mister B (Rogers) — cross into photoreal live action, with machine-generated performances. This breakthrough occurred months before Jackson would build an entire film around the capability with Strings (2026).
