The U.S. theatrical release of Chainsaw Man: The Movie – Reze Arc is just around the corner, and Sony Pictures Entertainment has offered a new sneak peek clip to help prepare fans for the intense anime action about to unfold! The popular anime’s first-ever theatrical feature film debuts Friday, October 24.
Released in Japan on September 19 by Toho, the MAPPA-produced feature directed by series veteran Tatsuya Yoshihara (Black Clover) has taken a $68.3 million box office slice out of international territories including Japan, Korea, Hong Kong and Vietnam.
Synopsis: For the first time, Chainsaw Man slashes his way onto the big screen in an epic, action-fueled adventure that continues the hugely popular anime series.
Denji worked as a Devil Hunter for the yakuza, trying to pay off the debt he inherited from his parents, until the yakuza betrayed him and had him killed. As he was losing consciousness, Denji’s beloved chainsaw-powered devil-dog, Pochita, made a deal with Denji and saved his life. This fused the two together, creating the unstoppable Chainsaw Man. Now, in a brutal war between devils, hunters, and secret enemies, a mysterious girl named Reze has stepped into his world, and Denji faces his deadliest battle yet, fueled by love in a world where survival knows no rules.
Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc is directed by Yoshihara and written by Hiroshi Seko (Dan Da Dan, Jujutsu Kaisen). The movie features the returning voice cast from the television series, with new additions to the roster including Reina Ueda (Solo Leveling, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba) as Reze.
The Chainsaw Man anime franchise is based on the original manga by Tatsuki Fujimoto, serialized in Shueisha’s Shonen Jump.
