The new visual showcases three characters from the upcoming film all staring very intensely, with the tagline “Experience Jujutsu Kaisen‘s origins in IMAX…!” written alongside it. The poster is specifically for IMAX screenings of the film but does give fans a sneak peek at the look of the upcoming movie, regardless.
Jujutsu Kaisen 0 will launch in Japan on December 24, 2021. The upcoming film will be based on Gege Akutami’s manga, which serves as a prequel story to the hit anime series that ended earlier this year after a 24-episode run. The original Jujutsu Kaisen is based on the manga title of the same name. Both the manga and anime have found widespread success in Japan, with the manga having sold over 55 million copies and the anime becoming a smash hit after it premiered in October 2020.
