Will the Demon Slayer movie be in Cineworld UK?
Cineworld UK has not published specific showtime listings for the 12 September 2025 release as of this writing. This is not unusual for anime limited releases—chains sometimes update their schedules closer to premiere dates or only for select locations. The Infinity Castle arc was previously available in Cineworld UK during its initial run, so returning to those screens for Part 1 is plausible but unconfirmed.
Cineworld UK listings
To check whether your local Cineworld is carrying Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle, use the Cineworld website or app to search by postcode and filter for the film name. Listings vary by location, and some cinemas may only show the subbed version while others carry both.
Booking options
If Cineworld showtimes aren’t yet live, your alternatives include ODEON (which has confirmed listings for subbed and dubbed versions) and Merlin Cinemas (which is listing dubbed screenings from February 2026 at select locations). Fandango covers US and international ticketing but is less useful for UK-specific cinema chains.
The implication: if you’re set on Cineworld, check back 1–2 weeks before 12 September—or call your local cinema directly. But don’t wait if ODEON has your preferred format and time, because premium large-format and IMAX screenings tend to sell out first.
Is Infinity Castle part 2 out?
No. Part 2 of the Infinity Castle trilogy has not been released. The official trailer, titled “Infinity Castle Part 2 | OFFICIAL TRAILER — The Final War Intensifies,” previews upcoming content but does not indicate a release date. Part 1 is scheduled for 2025, and subsequent parts are expected in 2026 and 2027, though Aniplex and Crunchyroll have not confirmed exact dates for the follow-up films.
Trailer details
The trailer showcases the escalating conflict between the Demon Slayer Corps and Muzan’s upper-rank demons inside the Infinity Castle. Key scenes include the Hashira engaging in synchronized attacks, Tanjiro entering his marked state, and a dramatic confrontation that sets up the multi-film arc structure.
Expected release
Based on the pattern established by the Mugen Train film (2020) and Swordsmith Village arc (2023), each part of the trilogy will likely receive a separate UK theatrical release 12–18 months apart. Part 2 is anticipated no earlier than late 2026, with Part 3 following in 2027. Watch for announcements from Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures UK for confirmed dates.
The gap between Part 1 and Part 2 UK releases depends on multiple factors: Japanese theatrical window, dub production timelines, and UK distributor scheduling. Anime UK News reported that Part 1 tickets went on sale from 15 August 2025—earlier than many expected—which suggests an accelerated rollout. But there’s no guarantee Part 2 will follow the same pace.
The catch: fans planning a trilogy marathon should prepare for potential delays between installments that could stretch beyond the typical 12-month cycle.
Will the Infinity Castle arc be 3 movies?
Yes. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle is confirmed as a trilogy, with each film adapting a portion of the manga’s final arc. The structure mirrors the previous film trilogy model used for the series, with each installment building toward the final confrontation between Tanjiro and Muzan.
Trilogy breakdown
The table below outlines the expected release timeline and current status for each film in the Infinity Castle trilogy.
| Film | UK Release (Expected) | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Infinity Castle Part 1 | 12 September 2025 | Confirmed |
| Infinity Castle Part 2 | TBD (likely 2026) | Announced, unconfirmed |
| Infinity Castle Part 3 | TBD (likely 2027) | Announced, unconfirmed |
Release dates
The Japanese release dates for all three films were announced ahead of their UK premieres. Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment are handling distribution in UK cinemas, following the same partnership that brought Mugen Train and the Swordsmith Village arc to British theaters.
What this means: if you’re in for the full arc, plan for at least three cinema trips across roughly two years. Each film runs approximately 2h 30m, and the cumulative runtime across all three will surpass seven hours of new animation.
Demon Slayer Infinity Castle showtimes dubbed in English?
English dubbed screenings are available at ODEON Cinemas and Merlin Cinemas. ODEON confirms that both subbed and dubbed versions are showing, with IMAX and premium large formats available for the dubbed cut at select locations. Merlin Cinemas Okehampton lists specific dubbed showtimes, such as Tuesday 3rd February 2026 at 17:45.
Dub availability
The English dub features Griffin Burns (Tanjiro), Channing Tatum (Giyu Tomioka), Abby Trott (Nezuko), Zach Aguilar (Zenitsu), and Bryce Papenbrook (Inosuke). The cast has been consistent across recent Demon Slayer releases, which has helped maintain voice consistency for English-speaking audiences.
Theater formats
IMAX screenings at ODEON offer a 26% larger image and enhanced sound, which makes a noticeable difference for animation-heavy films like Demon Slayer. Standard 2D screenings are available at most locations. Not all cinemas carry both subbed and dubbed versions, so check your specific location’s schedule before traveling.
LondonNet reported no current showtimes listed for London cinemas from 19 December to 8 January, which suggests some locations may have paused screenings during the holiday period. If you’re in London and planning to see the film in December, confirm your cinema’s schedule directly or consider traveling to a nearby ODEON that still lists active dates.
The pattern: regional chains like Merlin are already planning extended runs into early 2026, suggesting the UK theatrical window may stretch longer than initial forecasts for major urban centers.
How long will a movie stay in theaters?
The theatrical run for anime films in the UK varies based on demand, screen availability, and distributor decisions. Mugen Train held screens for approximately 8–12 weeks in the UK before transitioning to home video. The Infinity Castle trilogy may follow a similar or slightly shorter window, depending on box office performance and competing releases.
Typical run
Major chains like ODEON typically keep anime titles for 6–10 weeks, but limited releases can exit sooner if a blockbuster opens nearby. Cineworld’s schedule tends to refresh every 2–3 weeks, so a film not on the marquee by week six may have been quietly dropped.
Infinity Castle specifics
For Part 1, the 12 September release date puts the film in theaters through October and into November. Merlin Cinemas already listing February 2026 showtimes suggests that some regional chains plan extended runs or periodic re-releases. Check Fandango or IMDB for real-time updates on whether your preferred screening is still available.
The trade-off: waiting for a gap in the schedule (or for Part 2) means risking a less convenient time slot or missing premium formats. But for fans outside major cities, regional cinemas like Merlin may be your only option—and they’re already preparing for the long haul.
