Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0 Coming To Theaters In The West

By Evan Valentine

Evangelion recently brought to an end the Rebuild of Evangelion film series via Thrice Upon A Time, the movie that is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video and might just be the last time that we see the world of NERV animated for the near future. While the movie never hit theaters in North America, it looks like this is set to change later this year as GKids has announced that the latest Eva movie will be hitting the silver screen in the West.    

GKIDs made the announcement using their Official Twitter Account, with the movie wrapping this new story of NERV and touted by fans as one of the greatest anime films of all time:

GKIDs shared an official description for the final film in the quartet of films in the Rebuild of Evangelion movie series, as Thrice Upon A Time gets ready to hit theaters proper later this year:

"From legendary director Hideaki Anno, EVANGELION: 3.0+1.0 THRICE UPON A TIME is the fourth and final installment of the REBUILD OF EVANGELION films, bringing an epic conclusion to the story of Shinji and his fellow Eva pilots, with the stunning visuals and thought-provoking storytelling that has made EVANGELION a global pop culture phenomenon.

Misato and her anti-NERV group Wille arrive at Paris, a city now red from core-ization. Crew from the flagship Wunder land on a containment tower. They only have 720 seconds to restore the city. When a horde of NERV Evas appears, Mari's improved Eva Unit 8 must intercept. Meanwhile, Shinji, Asuka, and Rei (Provisional Name) wander about Japan."

Currently, there are no new plans that we know of to bring back Evangelion to the world of anime, though a recent poster promoting the "Shin Universe" sported Eva Unit 01 joining the likes of Godzilla, Kamen Rider, and Ultraman. With the creator of Evangelion, Hideaki Anno, working on this new Shin universe, many fans are wondering if we're set to see a future crossover that unites all these legendary creations under one story. 

Will you be catching Evangelion: Thrice Upon A Time in theaters later this year? Feel free to let us know in the comments or hit me up directly on Twitter @EVComedy to talk all things comics, anime, and the world of NERV.
