The Demon Slayer franchise is gearing up for its grand finale with the first full-length trailer for the Infinity Castle arc adaptation. The Infinity Castle Arc movie adaptation was announced immediately after the Season 4 finale, much to fans’ delight. Initially described as a trilogy, recent updates on the official website suggest a shift in approach—the “trilogy” label has been removed. This change likely reflects the arc’s pacing in the manga, which may not have enough material for three full-length films.
