The anime series "Star Detective Precure!" (Original title: "Meitantei Precure!"), the 23rd entry in the popular "Precure" franchise, is being adapted into a theatrical film. The film, titled "Eiga Meitantei Precure!" (English title: "Star Detective Precure! The Movie"), is scheduled to open in Japanese theaters on September 18, 2026. To coincide with the announcement, a teaser visual and a first promotional video have been released.
The teaser visual shows a large, colorful glass suncatcher, which is hinted to be a central key to the film's plot. Reflected in the facets of the stone are the protagonists Cure Answer and Cure Mystic, as well as the still-mysterious characters from the TV series, Cure Arcana Shadow and Cure Eclair. Also present are the characters Jett-senpai, Pochitan, Mashutan, and Shushutan, who are looking at the motif curiously.
The plot of the original series revolves around middle school student Anna Akechi, who lives in the year 2027 and is transported back in time to 1999. There, she meets the detective-enthusiast Mikuru Kobayashi. Together, they transform into the "Detective Precure" to track down the mysterious "Phantom Thieves."
Starting April 10, 2026, the first teaser flyers featuring the new visual will be distributed in Japanese theaters, with the back side designed as a coloring page.

- Hikari Senga as Cure Answer / Anna Akechi
- Kaede Hondo as Cure Mystic / Mikuru Kobayashi
- Nao Toyama as Cure Arcana Shadow
- Yuki Kaji as Jett-senpai
