Blue Lock Live-Action Movie Reveals Release Date With First Trailer

Blue Lock is coming to theaters with a brand new live-action movie later this Summer, and the film has set its first release date with its very first trailer. Muneyuki Kaneshiro and Yusuke Nomura’s original Blue Lock manga really has taken over the world in a very short time. The series was already a hit, but has found a whole new world of popularity thanks to the success of its official anime adaptation. The franchise has become much more of a monster hit, and now has more of the anime and a new movie project on the way.

Blue Lock now has a new live-action feature film coming to theaters in Japan, and has confirmed it’s slated for an August 7th release in the region. To celebrate the confirmation of the release date for the film, and following the last few weeks revealing each member of the cast, Blue Lock has also dropped the first trailer for its new live-action movie. You can check it out in action below.
