We learned back at the end of December 2020 that the Chainsaw Man manga was coming to an end, but that was mostly just to prepare it for the second part that was getting underway not long after on the Shonen Jump+ app. The show saw an October 11th, 2022 premiere and in December 2023 revealed that it was getting an anime feature film that will adapt the Reze Arc with Rina Ueda on board to play that character.
The Japanese theatrical release was recently with a September 19th, 2025 date and now things are coming together on the US side of things. Sony Pictures announced at CinemaCon that the film will arrive on October 29th, 2025 in the US as part of the film’s rollout in over eighty countries. Tickets will be on sale closer to the release itself.
The film has Tatsuya Yoshihara directing it from a screenplay by Hiroshi Seiko. Kazutaka Sugiyama is handling the character designs with MAPPA on the animation production.
The Japanese main cast includes Kikunosuke Toya as Denji, Tomori Kusunoki as Makima, Shogo Sakata as Aki Hayakawa, Fairouz Ai as Power, Shiori Izawa as Pochita, Mariya Ise as Himeno, Karin Takahashi as Kobeni Higashiyama, Taku Yashiro as Hirokazu Arai, and Kenjiro Tsuda as Kishibe. Additional cast includes Maaya Uchida as Angel Devil, Natsuki Hanae as Shark Fiend, Yuya Uchida as Violence Fiend, Saori Goto as Spider Devil, Yō Taichi as Akane Sawatari, and Daiki Hamano as Samurai Sword.
The series began back in 2016 in Japan with Viz Media releasing it in English as well.

Plot Concept: Denji’s a poor young man who’ll do anything for money, even hunting down devils with his pet devil-dog Pochita. He’s a simple man with simple dreams, drowning under a mountain of debt. But his sad life gets turned upside down one day when he’s betrayed by someone he trusts. Now with the power of a devil inside him, Denji’s become a whole new man—Chainsaw Man!
