Chainsaw Man fans have been eagerly waiting for any news about the anime’s forthcoming movie continuation, Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc, since it was announced in 2023. On Monday, Sony Pictures Entertainment announced during their CinemaCon panel in Las Vegas that the animated film based on the Reze Arc of Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Chainsaw Man manga will open in United States theaters on Oct. 29, as well as in more than 80 other countries on Sept. 24.
Set immediately after the events of Chainsaw Man’s first season, the film will center on Denji as he explores a relationship with Reze, a girl who works at a local cafe. Torn between his newfound feelings for Reze and his unrequited affection for Makima, Denji will have to decide just where exactly to follow his heart, all while contending with a deadly new adversary.
Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc will be directed by Tatsuya Yoshihara, who previously worked as a key animator and episode director on the first season of Chainsaw Man under director Ryū Nakayama. Hiroshi Seko is set to return as the film’s screenwriter, alongside character designer Kazutaka Sugiyama and composer Kensuke Ushio.
Chainsaw Man season 1 is available to stream on Crunchyroll.
