General Release and Film Overview
The first Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle film is slated for its wider theatrical release in the United States and Canada on September 12, 2025. This includes showings in premium large formats like IMAX. The movie will be available with both its original Japanese audio and English subtitles, as well as an English dub. The English dub cast features notable talents, including Channing Tatum as Keizo and Rebecca Wang as Koyuki.
Directed by Haruo Sotozaki at the acclaimed anime studio ufotable, with Akira Matsushima serving as Chief Animation Director and Character Designer, and music composed by Yuki Kajiura and Go Shiina, the film promises to deliver the high-quality animation and storytelling fans have come to expect. It adapts the climactic final arc of the original manga series by Koyoharu Gotouge and is the first installment in a planned trilogy. The movie premiered in Japan on July 18 and has already achieved significant box office success, surpassing One Piece Film Red to become the sixth highest-earning film of all time in Japan.
The film’s plot sees Tanjiro Kamado, Nezuko, Zenitsu Agatsuma, and Inosuke Hashibira, alongside the Demon Slayer Corps and Hashira, thrown into the enigmatic Infinity Castle, the demons’ stronghold, after Muzan Kibutsuji appears at the Ubuyashiki Mansion. This sets the stage for the final, decisive battle between the Demon Slayer Corps and the demons.
