A brand new 2D animated film of the popular Lupin III series is set to release in Japanese theaters in 2025. This marks the first traditional 2D theatrical film in the franchise in nearly 30 years. The director is Takeshi Koike, who has previously worked on several recent Lupin III projects. The animation production is handled by Telecom Animation Film.

The film brings back the iconic characters Arsène Lupin III, Daisuke Jigen, Goemon Ishikawa, Fujiko Mine, and Inspector Zenigata. A first teaser trailer has been released, hinting at previously unknown challenges for the characters. The trailer also features the promising tagline: "You don't know the real Lupin yet."

The project builds on Monkey Punch's original creation, blending nostalgic charm with a fresh approach. Further details, including the final title and exact release date, are expected soon.
