Unfortunately, fans haven't received much of an update about the future of Solo Leveling as of late. Of course, there are multiple reports out there that detail the next step for the franchise, but an official confirmation has yet to come regarding the third season of the series. That aside, Solo Leveling now has a new project confirmed, and fans will be delighted to know that a new live-action is now officially coming. With this live-action, fans know at the very least that they have a new project from the franchise coming their way, and by the looks of it, this might just be one of the very best anime live-action films that fans will have ever seen.

Fans of Solo Leveling only have one thing on their mind at the moment, and that's a new season for the anime. At the end of the day, Solo Leveling is a popular anime series, and that is what fans will care about the most. After the remarkable success of Solo Leveling Season 2, it is no surprise to know that Season 3 is highly anticipated among all the fans, and this is especially true knowing the content that it is going to adapt from the Manhwa.

As a Japanese person living in Japan, the anime is not at the level of Dragon Ball, One Piece, or Naruto. But if season three happens, that's when I want to truly break that boundary. — Solo Leveling Producer

Solo Leveling season 3 is going to be an absolute sensation, and it will most certainly go on to reach unprecedented heights whenever it does come out. Unfortunately, there has been no confirmation of a Season 3 yet, even though the staff has openly spoken about their plans for it, and what they intend to do with it when it does come out, along with when they think it should come out.

Regardless of all that, there are reports of Solo Leveling getting a new movie soon enough, and that should happen in late 2026, if the reports from the production committee of the series are to be believed . That said, the movie was set to be in pre-production phases, which means that it could very well be pushed back to 2027 as well.

In either case, fans know very well that Solo Leveling is not done just yet, and that it still has a bright future. That certainly is exciting for all the fans of the series.

While Solo Leveling getting a new movie, potentially in late 2026 or maybe early 2027, is great, there are also other projects that fans need to turn their attention to. The latest one that has been now officially announced is a live-action. Solo Leveling is getting a proper live-action soon enough, and it is going to be absolutely sensational by the looks of it.

Netflix is behind the Solo Leveling live-action adaptation, and even though they haven't had a remarkable success, as far as live-action adaptations go, Solo Leveling could very well end up being different. This is because it's being reported that the effects team for the Solo Leveling live-action will be on a completely different level than anything that fans have previously seen.

I am the record of your struggles, the evidence of your resistance, and the reward of your sufferings. I am death, I am eternal rest, I am terror. — Ashborn to Sung Jinwoo, Solo Leveling Manhwa

This makes sense because Solo Leveling is highly combat-focused and will require the best of the best, as far as effects go. Depending on the success of the live-action adaptation, Solo Leveling could go on to reach newer heights, the likes of which haven't been seen before in the live-action department. One Piece is the only other live-action that has been reasonably successful, but even then it has its fair share of critics who don't like what it is doing with Oda's story. Perhaps, Solo Leveling will set a new standard and get everyone to see why anime live-actions aren't so bad after all.

Filming For Solo Leveling Live Action Is Set To Begin Soon

Filming For Solo Leveling Live Action Is Set To Begin Soon

Based on the recent reports, it appears that the filming for the Solo Leveling live-action is set to begin in April 2026. This means this project will probably come out at some point in 2027, even though an official release date has not been given to the fans yet. Filming should take at least a couple of months, and then there's also post-production to take into consideration.

All these things put together should take at least up to a year, or maybe even a bit longer. In that case, the Solo Leveling live-action adaptation will most likely come out around the middle of 2027. This might even coincide with the Solo Leveling anime movie, and that would mean the next year is going to be absolutely packed for the Solo Leveling franchise, as a whole. Fans have a lot to be excited about.

Solo Leveling Could Go On To Dominate Soon

  • New Movie And Live Action On The Way

At the moment, it is quite clear that Solo Leveling is trying to dominate in all spheres. There are already exciting Solo Leveling games out there, and the anime department of things has already been taken over by Solo Leveling, with the first two seasons garnering a fantastic response from all the fans. If Solo Leveling goes on to deliver an incredible movie as well, then the series will certainly set a new standard for anime, as a whole.

Now, there is a Solo Leveling live-action to take into consideration as well. Depending on how good this live-action adaptation is, fans could very well see an era of domination for Solo Leveling. Of course, Solo Leveling doesn't have as much content as fans would have liked, but that matters little because there is also a sequel series, called Solo Leveling: Ragnarok, which is just as good, if not better, than the original Solo Leveling. Fans should keep an eye out for a fantastic adaptation of Ragnarok's story as well.

In either case, fans know that the era for Solo Leveling's domination is here, and this franchise will go on to become an even bigger name in the years to come. 2026 already has some fantastic Solo Leveling projects lined up, including the new game Solo Leveling: Karma, and much else comes with it. Hopefully, Solo Leveling will have a successful year ahead.

Solo Leveling has two seasons out right now, one with 12 episodes, and the other with 13, for a combined episode count of 25 episodes available to watch right now. The series can be streamed on Crunchyroll for fans to enjoy while awaiting any more news concerning the third season. There have been no major announcements about a third season so far. Fans can get more Solo Leveling content via the Manhwa.
