Reze is a new character who wasn’t present in season one. Manga fans know her well as one of the series’ most colorful and well-crafted personalities.
Reze will have a pivotal role in the movie, adapting chapters 40 to 52 of the manga.
The movie’s storyline picks up right where Chainsaw Man season one left off, where viewers were teased with a brief glimpse of a girl with black socks ascending a staircase.
This mysterious girl is revealed to be Reze, a character poised to significantly impact Denji’s journey as a demon hunter in training.
According to the trailer, the Chainsaw Man movie will be produced by Shueisha and animated by MAPPA.
However, the panel and trailer did not reveal an official release schedule for the series’ debut film.

Chainsaw Man fans will also have to wait a little longer for the second season since there was no announcement when the show is set to return.
