Channing Tatum and Rebecca Wang have joined the English DUB cast for the upcoming Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Infinity Castle Arc.
Crunchyroll and Aniplex announced the news today and confirmed that the two stars will lend their language talents alongside the returning actors, including Zach Aguilar as Tanjiro Kamado, Abby Trott as NEZO KAMADO, ALEKS LE as Zenitu Agatsuma and Bryce Papenbrook as Inosuke Hadera.
Tatum (Deadpool and Wolverine) offers Keizo English language work, with Wang (Blue Eye Samurai, Solo -Leveling) typing Koyuki.
Crunchyroll and Aniplex published a explanation that Demon Slayer welcomes veterans and newcomers for the eagerly awaited and action-packed infinity Castle Arc. It also contains the confirmation that Tatum is already a fan of the anime thanks to his time because he saw the show with his daughter.
“We are very happy to welcome the beloved English voice that repeats their roles for Infinity Castle,” said the Executive Vice President of Global Commerce Mitchel Berger. “Their iconic voices have contributed greatly to the admiration of the characters and the popularity of the franchise. And we are happy to welcome Channing Tatum, who discovered his love for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba and Anime by looking at the series with his daughter, together with Rebecca Wang as English voices of Kyuki and Koyuki.”
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba started his manga run in 2016 and was created by Koyoharu Gotouge. In 2019 it was adapted to an anime series by animation Studio UFOTable and quickly exploded to a mainstream success, with several seasons and video game -spin -Soffs in the years since then. Demon Slayer Season 4, the latest episode of the show, broadcast his Cliffhanger final last summer.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Infinity Castle will unfold the next big arc in the story in the form of three full -fledged films. The first chapter of this three-film event was staged by Haruo Sotzaki and published in Japan last month. Cinema goers can expect that crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment will bring to cinemas in the USA and Canada from next month, September 12th.
“As members of the Demon Slayer Corps and Hashira, a group of strength training program, the Hashira training, appears in preparation for the upcoming fight against the demons, Muzan Kibutsuji appears in the Ubuyashiki -Mansion,” says a summary for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Infinity Castle. “With the head of the demon corps, Tanjiro and the Hashira plunge into the headquarters, but are plunged into a deep descent into a mysterious space by the hands of Muzan Kibutsuji.
“The goal in which Tanjiro and Demon Slayer Corps have fallen is the fortress of the demons -the Infinity Castle. And so the battlefield is inflamed as a final struggle between the Demon Slayer Corps and the demons.”
In 2020, the fans were picked up with Demon Slayer The Movie: Mugen Train, a theater follow-up in which Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke's story in season 1 were picked up, and at the same time stands out on the Flame Hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku and Twelve Kuzuki member Akaza. The statement by Crunchyroll and Anlex adds that the film currently holds records as the highest Japanese anime film of all time and the Japanese film with the highest impact on the global box office.
If Mugen Train is doing something, every Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Infinity Castle film will be a force with which you have to get to cinemas in the next few years. While we are waiting to find out more about Tatum as Keizo and Wang as Koyuki, and find more specific publication plans for future content from Demon Slayer, you can read our evaluation of Demon Slayer season 4.
