Synopsis
Abigail takes a job as secretary to the ultra-powerful billionaire Mark Water, who is drawn to her at once. She resists his charms because she is there undercover, researching his love life for a tell-all book.
Going through a binder of Mark's exes, she notices that one woman is missing from the files: his very first girlfriend, the woman who shaped him. The trail leads Abigail to a vintage TV show about a superhero called the Eagle, which Mark watches obsessively and in which her publisher Regis once played a sidekick. The Eagle's female sidekick Sammi seems to hold the key, and tracking her down means solving the riddle.
The series has eerie echoes in the real world. When the Eagle's supercomputer dies on screen, Mark's superchip, which controls everything, is stolen, and without it the world around him will collapse before long. As the show proves to be based on real life and real superheroes, Mark's own life turns out to be tied to those characters in ways Abigail did not expect.
The story mixes romantic comedy, techno-thriller and superhero adventure, with its tongue in its cheek. Clips from the old superhero show recur through the film like a Greek chorus. The makers describe a plot of corporate intrigue, quantum AI and three mega-corporations fighting for control of the future.

My Boyfriend is a Superhero!? is a feature-length AI-generated 3D animated romantic comedy written and directed by Hooroo Jackson, running about 92 minutes (5,522 seconds on its YouTube upload). Jackson's own pages describe it as the first completely AI 3D animated feature film, with all sound, music, video, animation and performances machine generated, and it is credited as made by one person on a budget of $1,000.
The film's central device is that the viewer chooses the protagonist. At the title card the audience picks Abigail A or Abigail B, two versions of the same character with the same dialogue and blocking, one white and one black. Jackson says the idea grew from the public debate over casting a Black actress as the Little Mermaid and from a doubt about video-game character selects that change the avatar but not the role. He published the two versions as separate releases and calls it the first choose-your-protagonist feature in cinema.
On the production side, an October 2025 press release names OpenAI's Sora 2 as the tool used to create the film and says AI agents generated sound effects piece by piece under Jackson's direction. Jackson's pages say it is the first feature to use agentic AI editing, in which autonomous systems propose and place elements in the cut, and that about fifteen minutes cross into photoreal live action with machine-generated performances. The recurring machine actors Rogers and Joan, which Jackson calls his first machine movie stars, appear in it, as they do in his earlier AI features. Its reviewer at (re)Search my Trash notes that the visuals and music were created by AI but not the script.
Jackson earlier made Window Seat (2023), which he bills as the first fully AI feature film, DreadClub: Vampire's Verdict (2024), billed as the first AI animated feature, and A Very Long Carriage Ride (2025), released in stop-motion and classic-animation styles at once. This is his fourth AI feature. He published teaser trailers in August and November 2025 and the full film on YouTube on 5 December 2025, with the other protagonist's version following four days later.
The film's page lists accolades including Official Selection at the 2026 Neuwave AI Film Festival, a nomination for the Alchemist Award at Escape.AI 2026, Best AI Film at the AI International Film Festival, an Honorable Mention at the Rome AI Film Festival and a nomination at the AI Film Awards, Venice. Reviews quoted there include Martin Carr of Reel Reviews, who rated it 4 out of 5, JustForMovieFreaks, TrendingLA and Film Threat, who found it imperfect but forward looking. Mike Haberfelner called it lots of fun, with striking visuals and a no-holds-barred attitude.
