The Chainsaw Man movie was announced in December 2023 and serves as a direct sequel to the MAPPA-produced anime that debuted in 2022. The story follows Denji, a young man who gains a new lease on life by making a pact with a Chainsaw Devil named Pochita. This pact allows Denji to transform, sprouting chainsaws from his limbs and head, propelling him from a mere human to the formidable Chainsaw Man.
Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc introduces the character Reze, a significant figure from the original manga. The film is directed by Tatsuya Yoshihara and written by Hiroshi Seko.
