‘Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc’ drops explosive new trailer ahead of October premiere
MAPPA’s anime phenomenon returns to theaters with a brutal love story and jaw-dropping animation.
‘Chainsaw Man’ is revving up for its big-screen return, and the hype is real. The upcoming film, ‘Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc’, just released a brand-new trailer—and it’s pure spectacle from the first frame. The movie hits U.S. theaters on October 30, 2025, and continues the story right where the anime left off, adapting one of the manga’s most beloved and devastating arcs.
Much like 'Demon Slayer’ has done with its theatrical releases, 'Chainsaw Man’ is embracing the cinematic format to deliver its next chapter with maximum impact.
What is ‘Reze Arc’ about?
Based on the acclaimed manga by Tatsuki Fujimoto, the film follows Denji, a devil hunter who made a pact with his chainsaw-dog Pochita to survive a brutal betrayal. Now living as Chainsaw Man, Denji finds himself caught in a deadly war between devils, hunters, and secret enemies.
Enter Reze, a mysterious girl who seems to offer Denji a glimpse of normal life—and maybe even love. But her arrival sets off a chain of events that will test Denji’s heart, his loyalty, and his will to survive.
“It’s a love story wrapped in blood and betrayal,” teased director Tatsuya Yoshihara, who previously helmed key episodes of the anime and 'Black Clover’.
