Movie listing sites like The-Numbers.com have posted an untitled Crunchyroll/Sony Pictures film slated for Sept. 15, 2027. Fans of Demon Slayer may have recognized that movie as a potential release date for Infinity Castle 2, the sequel to the highest-grossing anime film of all time.
Fans of Demon Slayer have been wondering if the film marking the end of the trilogy has been officially confirmed, and the date appears to answer that question in the affirmative.
The Film on The-Numbers
The film’s listing fails to name Aniplex, the studio that is 100%-owned by Sony and sits on the Demon Slayer production committee. That missing detail suggests the movie in question could be Infinity Castle 2.
The issue could come down to how things are named. Since Sony owns both Crunchyroll and Aniplex, the listing may simply fail to name the subsidiary by its own title.
Another possibility for the Sept. 15 slot is One Piece Film: God Valley, with a confirmed summer 2027 release date. It would mark the first direct tie-in with the official story of the manga and anime.
Distribution and Production
The One Piece movies come from Toei Animation, which the listing does not name. Sony/Crunchyroll handles distribution of those films in North America, while the country named in the listing, France, is excluded from that arrangement.
That detail has fans hunting for clues. If the Sept. 15 film is distributed by Sony/Crunchyroll but its producer is not Toei, it suggests Infinity Castle 2.
What the Listing Shows
The listing identifies the movie as an untitled Crunchyroll/Sony Pictures production without naming it as Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle 2. The title is left unspecified, even as the listing does not deny the match either.
Sony Pictures is the only production company named in the listings, whereas the movie in question is believed to be Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle 2. The absence of Aniplex may not be a clue pointing away from it, though, since Aniplex itself is a 100%-owned subsidiary of Sony, meaning the wording may simply differ in how the film is credited.
One Piece Film: God Valley is also a contender given its announced summer 2027 release date. But since Toei Animation produces One Piece movies, and the company is not mentioned in the listing, that film does not fit the stated criteria.
| Film | Production Company | Release Window | Release Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infinity Castle 2 | Aniplex (100%-owned subsidiary of Sony) | Unconfirmed | Sept. 15, 2027? |
| One Piece Film: God Valley | Toei Animation | Summer 2027 | Unspecified |
| Untitled Crunchyroll/Sony Pictures movie | None listed | Sept. 15, 2027 | Listed |
Missing Information
The-Numbers.com provides exactly what its name suggests: a list of figures. Neither Sony, Crunchyroll, nor Aniplex has confirmed these numbers officially.
For now, nothing has been revealed about the upcoming Sony/Crunchyroll film landing on Sept. 15, so there’s no telling what it will be. Fans should treat any speculation about it as a tease, and reserve judgment until official details surface.
That “untitled” label on the film has a purpose behind it. The website is not where any official statement about the matter would be made.
What Fans Know So Far
The sequel to the Infinity Castle trilogy has a Sept. 15 release date, and the first movie in the series is currently streaming on Hulu. Fans can use that availability as a reason to revisit the story before the sequel arrives.
Both One Piece movies carry the same release year, but neither has a confirmed release date, leaving the Sept. 15 listing as the sole specific date on the schedule.

The entries on The-Numbers.com exist solely as listings. They do not represent official statements from Sony, Crunchyroll, or Aniplex.
The waiting game continues for viewers, who are left with nothing more than a hint and a promise. The film’s existence is confirmed by its calendar listing on scheduling pages, yet its true nature remains a secret until the companies themselves come forward and reveal it.
The Demon Slayer franchise has a sequel in the works, while the One Piece franchise has a new film headed its way. The Sept. 15 date could belong to either of those or to neither. The only thing that can be said with certainty is that the next big anime movie of 2027 may have just received a release date — or it may not.
