The Prince of Tennis has debuted the first trailer and poster for its new 3DCG movie! Originally announced for a release in Spring 2020 before being delayed to a release in 2021, a special presentation for Takeshi Konomi's The Prince of Tennis franchise during Jump Festa 2021 Online revealed that the new film is currently scheduled for a release in Fall 2021. We also got our first real look at the new movie, and big surprise, it's actually going to be the first 3DCG outing for the franchise that will bring Ryoma Echizen into a new dimension.
