Move over, Hollywood. Russia now wants a piece of the superhero action.

Long dominated by blockbusters from Marvel Studios, Fox, and DC Comics, the genre is about to welcome its first set of Russian super-powered individuals with "Guardians: Soviet Union Superheroes."

Directed by Sarik Andreasyan, the movie features characters who represent the different nationalities in the former Soviet Union. It includes a gatling gun-toting man-bear and a woman who turns invisible in water.

It will be released in the Philippines, where superhero films have proved successful. Last year's "Captain America: Civil War" scored the country's biggest opening weekend of all-time, making P362 million after its first five days.

"Guardians: Soviet Union Superheroes" will hit local cinemas starting March 8.
