A Demon Slayer movie trilogy has been officially announced.
The rumors swirling around a grand Demon Slayer cinematic experience were finally confirmed on July 1, 2024.
After the season 4 finale, ufotable, the Japanese animation studio behind Koyoharu Gotouge’s hit series, unveiled their plans to adapt the Demon Slayer Infinity Castle arc into a three-part movie saga.
Demon Slayer Infinity Castle movie trilogy poster
Following the hour-long season 4 finale, ufotable released the first official poster for the Demon Slayer Infinity Castle movie trilogy. The poster depicts Tanjiro Kamado plummeting towards the ominous Infinity Castle.
Below him, the seven Hashira stand resolute, joined by their demon ally Tamayo. The caption, “The All-Out War Begins,” is written on the poster, setting the stage for Demon Slayer Infinity Castle the Movie.
These upcoming films mark a shift from the last two Demon Slayer movie releases, “To the Hashira Village,” released in 2023, and “To the Hashira Training,” released in 2024.
Unlike these shorter features, the Infinity Castle arc will be adapted into three full-length feature films with no previous episode recaps, similar to the record-breaking “Demon Slayer Mugen Train” movie released in 2020.
Mugen Train remains the highest-grossing Japanese film of all time, earning US$507 million worldwide. The Infinity Castle trilogy aims to continue this cinematic success, bringing the Demon Slayer franchise back to the big screen in grand fashion.

Demon Slayer movie trilogy will have the most intense battles in the series
The highly anticipated Demon Slayer movie trilogy will adapt the Infinity Castle arc, known for featuring the most intense battles in the entire series.
Season 4’s finale featured the much-awaited confrontation in which Muzan Kibutsuji targeted the leader of the Demon Slayers, Kagaya Ubuyashiki.
Ubuyashiki’s sacrifice empowers the remaining Demon Slayers, particularly the elite Hashira, for their final confrontation with Muzan.
In a desperate move, Muzan teleports nearly all the demon hunters, including all the Hashira, to his fortified base – the Infinity Castle.
This arc is the penultimate act of the Demon Slayer storyline and features intense battles between the remaining Demon Slayers and Muzan’s strongest demons, the Upper Demon Moons.
Fans can expect brutal and fast-paced fight sequences as the Hashira unleash their full potential in this epic clash.
