Solo Leveling just announced a new movie for 2026 amidst the Demon Slayer movie’s success. Will you be heading to theaters for it?
Solo Leveling took the world by storm when it first premiered back in 2023, and fans have been itching to figure out what will happen next with Sung Jinwoo after the second season ended up being a huge success on Crunchyroll. Well, due to Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle's success, Solo Leveling has announced an official movie following the next arc, and it is set to release in 2026.
Solo Leveling anime movie confirmed for 2026
While we know that Sung Jinwoo's power is immense enough to take out all the ants, which we saw at the end of season two, fans are still anticipating where the character's story is set to head next.
Well, instead of a third season being the next installment of the series, fans will now get a Solo Leveling anime movie, and yes, it will be released just next year (2026). The goal? To rival Demon Slayer and Chainsaw Man's success, as both anime did wild numbers at the box office with their movies.
And I think it is safe to say that Solo Leveling's success from the first two seasons is enough to believe it will surpass Demon Slayer and Chainsaw Man.

At the moment, there is no release date for the Solo Leveling movie. However, fans are anticipating a mid-year release, as 2025 is quickly coming to an end. We at esports.gg will keep everyone updated with official updates on when the movie will be released once it is announced.
