Netflix Is Working On A Demon Slayer Live Action Adaptation
Demon Slayer Live Action Will Increase Its Fame
- Netflix is working on a Demon Slayer live action adaptation
- Currently there is no release date for the project
In the last ten years, Netflix's growth has been nothing short of phenomenal. The streaming platform is the first choice of most viewers around the world. Due to its continued growth, Netflix felt that it could take risks and release new shows to learn its audience's tastes. Currently, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of original series that belong to Netflix. Some of them have become global sensations, while others are buried at the bottom of the viewers' watchlist.
Initially, Netflix only promoted live-action content, but the rapid growth of the anime industry led the streaming giant to change its approach. At the moment, there are several anime titles that can only be watched on Netflix. It's clear that Netflix's new strategy has landed it a great deal of success, so there's no reason for it to stop. At the same time, fame and progress don't stop Netflix from implementing new ideas. The streaming platform is known for taking risks, and that's exactly what it is going to do with the Demon Slayer live-action adaptation.
That's right, Netflix and Demon Slayer are planning to release a live-action series. At first, the development was slow, but witnessing the success of the first Infinity Castle movie has led to Netflix adopting a much stronger approach. At the moment, there is no news about the project's release date.
Netflix has clearly been impressed by the numbers, and it wants to do something different that will have a similar level of success. However, anime fans know that live-action projects usually don't measure up to the anime.
It is worth mentioning that the newer live-action projects have been better and have had more success. The most recent example is the One Piece Live Action. With an extremely high budget and all the main choices made by Oda, the series has been a huge hit. It has received so much overwhelming support from the audience that Netflix has already renewed the series for two more seasons.
Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Movie 2 Is Already In Production
Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Movie Will Likely Release In 2027
While the hype for the Demon Slayer Live-action movie may not be much, things are completely different for the next movie in the Infinity Castle trilogy. Since the first movie has been released, it's safe to say that the production for the second has already begun. Ufotable has set incredibly high standards with Akaza's Return, so the studio needs to work extra hard to surpass it. Fans don't have to worry about the quality because ufotable has been consistent. The studio has always outdone its previous work, so the next Demon Slayer movie will likely be better.
The success of the Demon Slayer Infinity Castle movie has drawn the attention of other major franchises. They will want to release certain arcs as movies so that they also earn the same amount of money. One Piece and Solo Leveling are the likeliest to release new movies, as they have massive fan followings.
One Piece has released many non-canon movies in the past, but now is the time to produce a canon movie. Many fans want a movie focused on the God Valley Incident. The One Piece manga is already covering the incident, and maybe a movie will be announced once it is finished. Solo Leveling is filled with action, which makes it a perfect fit for a movie adaptation. The series has yet to announce a third season, so it's entirely possible that Aniplex might skip it and release an anime movie.
