Brad Pitt is back in the spotlight, we know! He did not just tear up tracks in F1: The Movie but also reminded audiences of his animated skills in Megamind, which has been streaming on Netflix since August 1, 2025. Decades before portraying the thrill-fueled Sonny Hayes, Pitt lent his voice to Metro Man – a satirical crime-fighter spoof. In this family-friendly quest, the character mocked classic hero clichés. So, it is a chance to see Pitt’s comedic timing and voice acting range alongside his blockbuster persona.
Brad Pitt’s Metro Man Returns In Netflix Animation
In Megamind, Brad Pitt brings to life Metro Man, the flawless guardian of Metro City, whose every heroic stunt is exaggerated for comic effect. He played a clear spoof of Superman and the flawless, all-American superhero archetype. Directed by Tom McGrath, the 2010 DreamWorks animation turns superhero rules upside down. Will Ferrell stars as Megamind, a big-headed, blue-skinned villain who accidentally flips roles and becomes the city’s accidental savior.
Metro Man is the picture of perfection (strong, invincible, admired by all), but is purposely designed to parody traditional comic book heroes. Pitt gives Metro Man both charm and playful satire, making the character memorable even with limited appearances.
