Solo Leveling Season 1 dropped in 2024, and while most fans eagerly awaited its debut, no one expected it to blow up like it did. What's even crazier is the fact that Solo Leveling Season 2 set a whole new standard. In just 25 episodes, the series managed to reach an unprecedented level. It became the most liked, reviewed, and rated anime series on Crunchyroll, despite the playground being home to some of the biggest hits of all time, such as One Piece, Naruto, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Demon Slayer, among many, many others.

Additionally, Solo Leveling's popularity continues to soar even today, and it has reached a point where it is simply too big to continue as a TV anime when it has great untapped potential. Of course, the series would do incredibly well as an anime, but the potential it has is so bright that a theatrical release with movies makes a lot more sense at this point.

Solo Leveling getting a new movie soon is the worst kept secret in the anime community.

The pre-production of this film is said to have already been completed, and the production now looks set to begin very soon. Even the staff working on Solo Leveling have teased a massive announcement for fans in the coming months.

At this point, it's beyond a shadow of a doubt that Solo Leveling will see a theatrical release, most likely in 2027. However, this movie will change the entire franchise in ways that most fans can't even imagine. Solo Leveling is already incredibly popular.

In the modern era of anime, stories ending with movies aren't too surprising to see. Demon Slayer's final arc is split into three movies, with the first already airing in 2025. Infinity Castle Part 2 is coming out in 2027, and the final part is rumored to air in 2029. Likewise, Chainsaw Man seems to have taken a similar approach with theatrical releases of canon arcs. Obviously, this generates more popularity and more money, and considering how Solo Leveling has become massive over the years, this will be the right step for this franchise as well.

Solo Leveling's story isn't too big, and as such it could easily fit into two feature films. While the first would cover the events of the Double Dungeon arc and what comes after, the second will put an official end to Jinwoo's story, delivering some incredibly intense battles and animation quality never seen before.

How the transition to theatrical release will elevate the series

It's certainly a sad prospect to think that Solo Leveling might not be coming back to TV in the future, but at the same time, it's also incredibly exciting because this means that whatever remains of the story will be elevated to brand new heights that fans can't possibly fathom. A film release will give the staff much more time and resources to produce a higher quality product. At the same time, the battles will be flashier, the action will be more intense and everything will look absolutely fantastic.

Solo Leveling's story has never been too deep, relying mostly on its incredible battles and visual beauty to charm fans. That this quality will be taken to a whole new level means that the series will become even more popular than ever before. In fact, if it goes this route, there's a good chance it will establish dominance as the biggest new shonen series, not only in Japan, but worldwide.

Both Seasons of Solo Leveling TV anime are available to stream on Crunchyroll.
