1 – Why New York?
To this day, Ladybug and Chat Noir had never left Paris. For this new fiction, the choice of New York was imposed. “There are two superhero cradles, considers Thomas Astruc. The most obvious is the United States with Superman in 1939 in comics. But France is too. At the beginning of the 20th century, we have for example the Nyctalope (hero created in 1911 who has the power to see both day and night, ndr). So there you have it, these are the two founding countries of the superhero myth. It seemed logical enough to bring them together to start this expansion of the “Miraculous” universe.“. There, Ladybug and Chat Noir will meet the American super heroes. “There are quite a few but I cannot quote them without revealing parts of the plot», He specifies.
2 – What emblematic New York places serve as the backdrop for this adventure?
Since the launch of Miraculous in 2015, Paris and its must-see tourist spots contributed to the success of the animated series. What will happen to New York? “We wanted to play with the skyscrapers because it makes it bigger, says Thomas Astruc. And in the same way that we play with the Eiffel Tower in Paris, we will play with the Statue of Liberty which is the iconic element of New York. Then, symbolically, it is a bridge between France and the United States“. Indeed, the monument was built in France in 1886 and offered by the French people, as a sign of friendship between the two nations, to celebrate the centenary of the American Declaration of Independence. “We also talk about the collaboration between Lafayette and Washington, he adds. It really is a declaration of love between France and the United States».
