A Hollywood star has been added to the cast of the upcoming Demon Slayer movie. The hit anime is set to conclude with a trilogy of big screen films and the first will arrive in the autumn.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba has been a smash hit since the anime adaptation debuted back in 2018. It has already had the cinematic treatment with Mugen Train, which turned an arc from the manga into a film.

How to watch Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle?
In a bold move, the final arc of Demon Slayer is set to be adapted as three movies and not as a traditional season. It is not the first time that the series has made the decision - with Mugen Train originally releasing as a film in between seasons one and two.
Attack on Titan was also turned into feature length movies for the final part of its elongated last season. However, those films were released direct to streaming via Crunchyroll in the west.
Demon Slayer’s trilogy of movies will be getting cinematic releases. The first part was a box office smash hit in Japan earlier in the summer and it will be rolled out worldwide in September.
The first movie is slated for release in the United Kingdom and United States on September 12. Big screen chains like Vue have had previous films such as Demon Slayer: Mugen Train.
