It has been revealed that a completely new theatrical anime film, "LUPIN THE IIIRD THE MOVIE" (tentative title), based on the popular anime "Lupin III", based on the manga by the late Monkey Punch, will be produced and released in 2025.

The catchphrase for the new film is "You don't know the real Lupin yet", and it will depict the "ultimate" Lupin III, which is the new and original.
