The announcement follows the movie’s phenomenal theatrical performance, which shattered multiple box office records across various regions and reaffirmed Chainsaw Man’s global popularity.
Continues the Story of a Fan-Favorite Arc
Serving as a direct continuation of the Chainsaw Man anime series, the film adapts the beloved Reze Arc, a turning point in the manga written by Tatsuki Fujimoto.
