When Will Chainsaw Man’s Movie Release In The States?

No Information Is Known At This Time, But There Is Always Room To Speculate

Though no international release date was given, it is unfortunately unlikely thatChainsaw Man’sfirst movie will release in North America on the same day as its Japanese release. Looking at similarly big anime movies such asJujutsu Kaisen 0(also produced by Studio MAPPA) andDragon Ball Super: Super Hero, it is more likely than not thatReze Arcwill be released internationally a few months after the Japanese release, meaning fans across the globe will hopefully be watching the movie in November or December at the lastest.

Chainsaw Man’sReze arc follows up on the Katana Man arc that closed out season 1 of the anime. The arc sees Denji meeting with a mysterious new girl who takes an interest in him. With new characters and an antagonist who tests Denji in a whole new way, the arc is commonly regarded as a high point of the series. With incredible animation and great source material, all signs point to the upcoming movie adaptation being another feather in MAPPA’s cap.
