The First Slam Dunk took over the world with the Slam Dunk series' big comeback last year, and now the movie has revealed an English dub trailer and the cast ahead of The First Slam Dunk's upcoming premiere in North America! Slam Dunk series creator Takehiko Inoue returned to the series after quite a few years with a new story bringing the original series to life in a whole new way. The First Slam Dunk has had a lot of overseas success to this point, but soon fans across the United States and Canada will get their chance to see it all in action. 

Celebrating The First Slam Dunk's upcoming premiere in the United States and Canada on July 28th with both English subtitled and dubbed screenings planned for its debut, GKIDS has released the first English dub trailer for the upcoming Slam Dunk movie along with detailing the voice cast behind the dub version as well.

Written and directed by the original creator behind the Slam Dunk manga, Takehiko Inoue, for Toei Animation and DandeLion Animation, GKIDS begins to tease The First Slam Dunk as such, "Shohoku's 'speedster' and point guard, Ryota Miyagi, always plays with brains and lightning speed, running circles around his opponents while feigning composure. Born and raised in Okinawa, Ryota had a brother who was three years older."

The synopsis continues with, "Following in the footsteps of his older brother, who was a famous local player from a young age, Ryota also became addicted to basketball. In his second year of high school, Ryota plays with the Shohoku High School basketball team along with Sakuragi, Rukawa, Akagi, and Mitsui as they take the stage at the Inter-High School National Championship. And now, they are on the brink of challenging the reigning champions, Sannoh Kogyo High School."
