New Solo Leveling Project Will Officially Reveal Sung Jinwoo’s New Shadow

by

This article contains spoilers from the Solo Leveling series.

The anime Solo Leveling has quickly become a huge hit with two amazing seasons, and fans can’t wait to see what happens next. It’s certain the series will continue for years to come, with the main character, Sung Jinwoo, becoming even more powerful. A key part of Jinwoo’s strength is his ability to summon and control the dead as his loyal ‘Shadows.’ He recently unlocked this power, and in the second season, he used it to build a formidable army of followers.

Currently, Sung Jinwoo’s strongest Shadow is Beru, who he created from the Ant King after their battle on Jeju Island. The upcoming continuation of Solo Leveling, planned for release in 2026, will introduce another powerful Shadow named Greed. Anticipation is high, as the Solo Leveling movie is also scheduled to come out in 2026, and Greed is expected to be incredibly strong.

Solo Leveling Movie Could Reveal Greed To The Fans

There’s currently no official word on whether Solo Leveling will get a third season, which has surprised many fans considering how popular the series is in Japan and around the world. While a new season hasn’t been announced, recent news indicates that a Solo Leveling movie is in the works. The movie, expected to continue Sung Jinwoo’s story, is currently planned for release in 2026.

Stay away from Korea. I’m not saying this to protect my own son, but to protect you. You’ll never find peace, not even after you die. — Sung Il Hwan yo Hwang Dongsoo from Solo Leveling

Jinwoo will keep using his incredible Shadow abilities in the upcoming Solo Leveling project, and we can expect to see even more of them. Depending on how much of the manhwa the anime covers, the next Solo Leveling movie will likely introduce a new Shadow as powerful as Beru – and that Shadow will be Greed.

Many fans are aware that Greed is born from the darkness of Hwang Dongsoo, who wants to defeat Jinwoo. Dongsoo is a highly powerful S-Rank Hunter and one of the strongest in America. Eventually, however, he will become one of Jinwoo’s Shadows, completely under Jinwoo’s control.

Jinwoo’s New Shadow Will Be General Level

Jinwoo’s Shadows aren’t all equally powerful, and like him, they can grow stronger over time. Currently, his strongest Shadow is Beru, who has reached the General level, giving her the power of speech. Hwang Dongsoo’s Shadow, Greed, is also expected to reach the General level, meaning it will gain the ability to communicate with Jinwoo as well.

I represent everything you’ve overcome – your hardships, your fight, and the pain you endured. I am death, but also the peace that follows, and the fear that accompanies it. — Ashborn to Sung Jinwoo, Solo Leveling

Watching powerful Shadows fight is always thrilling, because they’re incredibly strong and each one has a unique personality and can even talk. Just like fans expect Beru to have a bigger part in the next Solo Leveling movie coming out in 2026, they’re also hoping to see Greed become a key character.

The Solo Leveling Movie Is Reported To Have A Late 2026 Release Date

From what I understand about the Solo Leveling movie, details are still pretty scarce. The production committee recently shared that they’re aiming for a release sometime in late 2026, but that’s about all we know for now.

As someone from Japan watching this anime in Japan, it doesn’t quite reach the popularity of shows like Dragon Ball, One Piece, or Naruto yet. However, the producer believes season three has the potential to change that and really make it stand out.

While the movie is still in the early stages – it hasn’t even begun production yet – its release could be delayed, potentially arriving in 2027. We’ll keep fans updated with the latest news on Solo Leveling’s upcoming projects right here.

Solo Leveling Season 3 Might Not Be Coming Anymore

The upcoming Solo Leveling movie will likely impact the plans for Season 3 of the show. Current indications suggest the movie will essentially take the place of a third season, similar to what happened with Demon Slayer.

It’s possible we won’t get a Season 3 of Solo Leveling. However, like the anime Demon Slayer often does with its movies, Solo Leveling might adapt the story from its novels into a new season around 2027. This isn’t confirmed yet, but you can be sure to find any official updates about Solo Leveling Season 3 right here on TopMob.

Currently, there are 25 episodes of Solo Leveling available – the first season has 12 episodes and the second has 13. You can watch both seasons on Crunchyroll. While fans wait for news about a possible third season, they can also enjoy the original Solo Leveling Manhwa. There haven’t been any official announcements regarding a third season yet.
