Chainsaw Man: The Movie – Reze Arc – Full Release Dates for Every Region

The wait for the next installment of the hit anime series Chainsaw Man is almost over. Following the incredible success of its first season, the franchise is making a bold return to the screen, not with a second season, but with a highly anticipated feature film. Chainsaw Man: The Movie – Reze Arc is set to adapt one of the most beloved and emotionally resonant arcs of Tatsuki Fujimoto’s manga, the “Bomb Girl Arc.” The film, produced by the acclaimed Studio MAPPA, is a monumental event for anime fans worldwide. While Japanese fans will get to see the movie first, Sony Pictures has a comprehensive international release schedule that ensures fans across the globe will not have to wait too long.

This movie is not just a continuation of the story; it’s a critical piece of the narrative that introduces a fan-favorite character, Reze, and explores the themes of love, betrayal, and violence that define the series. The release of the film marks a significant moment for the anime industry, as it demonstrates a growing trend of major anime arcs being adapted into theatrical releases before a traditional television season.

Japan: The Premiere Date

As is tradition for major anime films, the premiere will take place in its home country first. The official Japanese release date for Chainsaw Man: The Movie – Reze Arc is September 19, 2025. Fans in Japan will be the first to witness Denji’s turbulent relationship with Reze and the explosive, high-stakes action that the arc is known for. This release date was a huge announcement at AnimeJapan 2025 and has been the source of immense hype among fans.

The Japanese theatrical run is expected to be a major box office success, given the overwhelming popularity of the manga and the first season of the anime. It’s an opportunity for fans to see Studio MAPPA’s incredible animation on the biggest screen possible, fully experiencing the dynamic action and emotional weight of the story.

North America (U.S., Canada) and Europe

For North American and many European audiences, the wait will be a bit longer, but thankfully not by much. Sony Pictures has secured the worldwide theatrical rights (excluding Japan) and has announced a coordinated release schedule. The official U.S. release date for Chainsaw Man: The Movie – Reze Arc is October 29, 2025. This release is part of a larger, simultaneous launch in several other regions, including the United Kingdom, Germany, and Belgium.

The decision to release the film in these major Western markets on the same day is a welcome change for fans who have grown used to long, unpredictable waits for new anime films. This strategic approach minimizes the risk of spoilers and builds a more unified global community around the film’s release.

Asia and Other International Territories

Fans in many Asian countries and other international territories are in for a treat, as their release dates are scheduled to be much closer to the Japanese premiere. The film will begin its international theatrical rollout on September 24, 2025, in over 80 countries.

This staggered release schedule is designed to maximize the film’s box office potential across different regions, with major markets in Asia, such as Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand, getting the film just a few days after Japan. Other territories, including parts of South America, will see the film on October 30, 2025, just one day after the U.S. release.
