The next Code Geass feature film is in the works for a February 2019 bow for Code Geass: Fukkatsu no Lelouch sequel in Japan but things have been looking up well for the last few years when it comes to North American releases. Funimation is taking some of the uncertainty out of the equation as they’ve announced that they’ll bring the film out here in theaters as Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;surrection in 2019. They’ll have more firm dates and plans once the new year hits but they did provide a subtitled trailer for the film.
The project brings back a lot of familiar names with Goro Taniguchi directing based on the screenplay by Ichiro Okouchi. Working from CLAMP’s original character designs, Takahiro Kimura will be handling that area while Sunrise is on the animation production. The project comes after wrapping up the recap film trilogy this past May and we should have most of the (surviving) cast return for this edition of it.
The previously announced new cast includes Ayumu Murase as Shario, Nobunaga Shimazaki as Shesutaaru, Wataru Takagi as Bituru, Keiko Toda as Shamuna, Akio Ohtsuka as Fōgunaa, and Kenjiro Tsuda as Kujapatto
The original TV series premiere in 2006 with a sequel run in 2008. A spinoff OVA series began in 2012 that ran for several years with Akito the Exiled.

Plot Concept: The film takes place two years after Zero Requiem.
