One of the most anticipated films of the year for fans of Japanese animation, the film Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc finally has a French release date. We tell you everything!
When will the film Chainsaw Man be released in France?
What a year for fans of MAPPA studio! A few weeks after Zenshu, fans of Japanese animation are eagerly awaiting the launch of the series Lazarus, the latest work from the brilliant director Shin'ichirō Watanabe, the genius behind Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo. Co-produced by MAPPA and Adult Swim, the anime will launch on April 6 on the Max platform. Another major event given by the studio founded by Masao Maruyama to its fans: the film Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc, which follows the first season broadcast at the end of 2022. As a reminder, by choosing to adapt Tatsuki Fujimoto's cult shōnen, MAPPA has hit the mark. Twelve episodes long, the first batch of episodes is one of the studio's greatest successes, to which we owe, among other feats of arms, Jujutsu Kaisen, the second season of Vinland Saga and the reboot of Ranma 1/2 (based on the manga by the great Rumiko Takahashi). Season 1 of Chainsaw Man ended with the end of the Katana Man arc and teased one of the most beloved story arcs among fans: Reze.
Committed to several projects at the same time, the MAPPA studio decided to take its time with the sequel to the adaptation of Chainsaw Man. Furthermore, the disappointing sales of the series in physical format - which is part of a broader context of the decline of DVD and Blu-Ray media in Japan - motivated the Japanese studio to produce the Reze arc in the form of an animated feature film. At the AnimeJapan 2025 festival, which took place at the end of March, we learned that Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc will be released in Japanese theaters on September 19, 2025.

While we expected to have to wait many months before discovering it in French theaters - in accordance with the usual distribution deadlines in France - the official X account of Chainsaw Man has shared the film's international distribution schedule. This is an opportunity for us to discover that the feature film Chainsaw Man will be released in France on October 22nd, the same day as Kaamelott: Deuxième Volet (Premiere Partie) by Alexandre Astier, almost a month to the day after its Japanese release. Moreover, France will be the first non-Asian country to distribute the film - which will be released in the United States, the United Kingdom, Belgium, and Germany on October 29th. We can't wait!
