Fans won’t have to wait any longer to get a glimpse at the next Ultraman movie! The news was revealed during a live panel of the staff and cast members of Ultraman Arc and Ultraman Blazar, to commemorate the encounter of the two Ultra Heroes in the recently aired (at the time) Episode 19 of Ultraman Arc. The full talk show is available on Tsuburaya’s official YouTube channel, but sadly in Japanese. The film itself will premiere in Japanese cinemas on February 21, 2025, and is being helmed by Takanori Tsujimoto, the director of Ultraman Arc.
We don’t know much about the plot of the movie, but from the looks of it, it appears that Ultraman Arc has met his match… and will face a dark doppelganger…
According to Tsuburaya Productions, “The teaser features the familiar SKIP Hoshimoto City Branch members: Yuma Hize (played by Yuki Totsuka), Shu Ishido (played by Sho Kaneta), Rin Natsume (played by Kaho Mizutani), Hiroshi Ban (played by Koichiro Nishi) and YouPi (voiced by Yuya Hirose). It also features a special appearance of renowned Japanese actor Naoto Takenaka — what is his role and how will he affect the story?
Please stay tuned for more information to come!”
We’ll be sure to provide updates as they roll in on Kaiju United. Sadly, any major news on an English release or distribution is yet to be announced at this time. For additional information on our favorite Ambassador of Light, we also encourage you to visit the official website for Tsuburaya Productions, as well as Ultraman Connection, the official fan hub for all things Ultraman.
