Over the weekend,it was announced thatthefirst movie of theDemon Slayer: Infinity Castletrilogy will be released in Japan on July 18. As accidentally leaked by Sony Pictures, the movie shouldhit American theaters on September 12— it is not common for movies to be released in the US only two months after they debut in Japan, which shows how much Sony is investing in it.
Thecollaboration with the MLB will likely serve as part of the promotional campaign for the movie, so we might see some niceInfinity Castle-related stuff. They could even release a new trailer for the movie, as the latest one was more like a celebration of the anime as a whole.
According to rumors, thetrilogy will have a two-year schedule, with movies coming out in 2025, 2027 and 2029. So far, no information about movies 2 and 3 has been officially shared.
