Shin Kamen Rider, The Movie

The movie, Shin Kamen Rider, has been scheduled to be released in Japan in March 2023. It was announced that the film will be produced on 3 April 2021—the 50th anniversary of Kamen Rider—and is meant as a new original work that respects the series.

The film has been written and directed by Hideaki Anno, who has created several blockbuster hits. The main character, Takeshi Hongo/Kamen Rider, is played by Sosuke Ikematsu—an actor who has created a name for himself in Japanese cinema. The heroine, Ruriko Midorikawa, is played by well-known actress, Minami Hamabe, while Hayato Ichimonji/Kamen Rider No. 2 will be played by Tasuku Emoto—a very talented individual who fits the role perfectly.

The best cast and crew in Japan today have poured their hearts and souls into the creation of Shin Kamen Rider – a story about good and evil, and how the fate of the world depends on one man who can save it from destruction.
