Following the announcement of the first CG film to release in the Lupin III franchise, Lupin III: The First, some new promos were released in both dubbed and subbed versions. Based on Monkey Punch's iconic characters, the new film follows Lupin as he goes on another dangerous quest of thievery while also uncovering the legacy of his grandfather.
When the film released last year, it was an immediate success as fans praised the animation and how wonderful the CG looked in the movie, a proper first-class outing for the character! With the pandemic putting so many projects on hold, there was no official confirmation that the film would be making its way to the west; however, it has recently been proven with the new trailers that the release is still on!
Following the release of the first dubbed footage, a brand new promo was also released that is even more action-packed and globetrotting, following the titular hero as he gets in and out of multiple dangerous circumstances. Since there is no official date of release, the film has been listed as only coming soon.
Will you be seeing the film once it finally releases? We would love to hear your thoughts in the comments, and don't forget to check out the new promo below!
