Dandadan Movie Release Date: Everything We Know So Far (And What to Expect)

DANDADAN

Following the explosive popularity of the Dandadan anime series in 2025, fans are now buzzing about one major question: Will there be a Dandadan movie? If so, when is it releasing?

In this blog, we’ll break down the current rumors, official statements, and what the source material tells us about the possible Dandadan movie. We’ll also explore which arc could be adapted, who might be behind the animation, and when we can realistically expect it to hit theaters or streaming platforms.

🎬 Is a Dandadan Movie Officially Announced?

As of now, an official Dandadan movie has not been confirmed by the animation studio or the production committee. However, multiple leaks and insider sources within the anime industry suggest that a theatrical film is being planned for late 2026 or early 2027.

The rumors gained traction when a reliable anime news leaker on X (formerly Twitter) posted about an “unnamed Science SARU film project” related to a “high-energy supernatural manga.” Since Science SARU animates Dandadan and the anime's reception has been overwhelmingly positive, many fans are putting two and two together.

📅 Expected Dandadan Movie Release Window

If production follows typical anime film timelines, here's what we can expect:

• Announcement: Possible during Jump Festa 2025 or AnimeJapan 2026
• Trailer Release: Mid-2026 (approx. 6 months before launch)
• Expected Japanese Theater Release: Winter 2026 (Nov–Dec)
• International Release / Streaming: Early 2027 (Feb–March)

Note: This is an estimated timeline based on standard anime movie development cycles. Official dates will be updated once confirmed.

📖 What Will the Dandadan Movie Cover?

While the anime covers the early supernatural and alien chaos in Momo and Okarun’s life, a movie could dive into one of the following arcs:

1. Turbo Granny Rematch Arc: A high-stakes return of the iconic ghost, featuring upgraded powers and darker lore.
2. Evil Eye Curse Arc: One of the most emotionally intense arcs, full of psychic showdowns, personal trauma, and stunning animation potential.
3. Original Movie Story: There’s a chance the movie might feature an anime-exclusive storyline written by Yukinobu Tatsu himself.

🎥 Who Will Be Behind the Movie?

Aspect	Details
Animation Studio	Science SARU (Expected)
Director	Fuga Yamashiro (Likely to return)
Original Creator	Yukinobu Tatsu
Genre	Supernatural, Sci-Fi, Action, Comedy
Streaming Platform	Crunchyroll (Expected post-theatrical)

Science SARU, known for its work on Devilman Crybaby and Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken, has already brought Dandadan’s wild visuals to life. A full-length film would allow them to push their creativity even further — think surreal sequences, chaotic battles, and emotional payoffs that go beyond TV anime limits.

🔮 Will It Be Canon?

Most likely, yes. The manga has many cinematic arcs that would translate perfectly into a feature film. Given Yukinobu Tatsu's involvement in the anime’s script supervision, fans can expect a faithful — or even expanded — canon story.

💬 Fan Theories and Hype

Social media is full of speculation. Some fans believe the film could be titled “Dandadan: Rise of the Evil Eye”, while others suggest a crossover short movie with characters from Chainsaw Man, considering Tatsu previously worked as an assistant on that manga.

There’s no doubt the community is excited — Dandadan was already one of the most streamed anime debuts of 2025, and the manga has surpassed 3 million copies in circulation globally.

📌 Final Thoughts

While the Dandadan movie hasn’t been officially confirmed yet, all signs point toward a 2026 release. The anime’s massive success, the rich manga content, and the studio’s reputation for bold projects all support the idea that a movie is not just possible — it’s highly likely.

Until then, keep watching Season 1, share your favorite moments online, and stay tuned for more news as it drops. And if the movie gets announced — you can bet we’ll break it down right here on the blog.
