Solo Leveling’s Biggest Project Ever Is Coming In 2026, And It’s Coming For Demon Slayer’s Throne

by

In the last two years, Solo Leveling has become incredibly popular, largely thanks to the fantastic anime adaptation by A-1 Pictures. While the first season was a big hit, Solo Leveling Season 2 surpassed expectations and is widely considered one of the best anime seasons of 2025.

Although Solo Leveling is becoming increasingly popular and likely to see even larger projects in the future, a third season hasn’t been officially announced. While fans are hoping for news soon, current reports indicate that the creators are planning a movie release for 2026, which could be the franchise’s biggest project yet.

A recent report from A-1 Pictures highlighted the studio’s focus on the “Solo Leveling” anime. The report suggests “Solo Leveling” will be a major project for them going forward, but a third season isn’t currently planned.

Although some fans may be disappointed to hear about the delay of Season 3, there’s a good reason for it. Seeing the success of films like Demon Slayer and Chainsaw Man, the creators of Solo Leveling are now planning to release a movie to try and achieve similar results.

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.

As a huge Solo Leveling fan, I was thrilled to hear from Chugong, the author, that they’ve been discussing all sorts of adaptations! He even hinted at a movie being a real possibility down the line. And now, with the latest production updates, it’s looking incredibly likely – a Solo Leveling movie in 2026 seems practically confirmed! I’m so excited!

The report from the production committee indicates that the Solo Leveling movie is still being developed. While the current goal is a 2026 release, that date is subject to change and could be delayed. However, 2026 remains the planned release window as of now.

Solo Leveling Movie Will Be Its Biggest Project Yet

Solo Leveling has had two very successful anime seasons, but fans are eager for a movie release to take the series to the next level. The success of the Demon Slayer movies proves how much further anime can reach with a strong theatrical release.

This year, Chainsaw Man proved successful, though it didn’t reach the same level of revenue or popularity as the Demon Slayer movie. However, fans generally rate it higher, and it’s still considered a big hit. Currently, Solo Leveling is one of the most popular anime, and it has the potential to be even bigger, possibly breaking records and surprising everyone.

Demon Slayer Will Finally Have A Big Competitor In Solo Leveling

While it might seem unlikely right now, Solo Leveling could potentially compete with Demon Slayer in worldwide box office numbers. The series has quickly become incredibly popular – it’s Crunchyroll’s most successful and highly-rated anime ever. Recently winning Anime of the Year, its fanbase is expanding even in Japan, making strong box office performance a real possibility.

Demon Slayer is incredibly popular in the anime world, but currently, Solo Leveling is proving to be even more successful on Crunchyroll. If this trend continues, Solo Leveling could become one of the most popular anime movies ever when it’s released in 2026.

Regardless of how things unfold, this is a major step forward for anime and will help bring it to a wider audience.

You can currently watch 25 episodes of Solo Leveling, divided into two seasons, with the latest season concluding in 2025. It’s available to stream on Crunchyroll. While there’s no news yet about a third season, fans can continue enjoying the story through the original Manhwa.
