GKids is leading the way in 2026 with LUPIN THE IIIRD: The Movie – The Immortal Bloodline. Directed by Takeshi Koike and based on the hit Monkey Punch property, the film opened in Japan back in June and will now run in the U.S. from January 4 through 6.
After fending off a series of skilled assassins, gentleman thief Lupin III and his band of allies follow a strange invitation to an uncharted island. When their plane is shot down, the gang is stranded and soon hunted by the island’s inhabitants, past enemies, and a monstrous immortal being known as Muom, who threatens to destroy Lupin’s legacy. As a deadly toxic fog settles over them, Lupin must confront his greatest enemy in his most daring escapade yet.
Legendary director Takeshi Koike returns to the Lupin the IIIRD franchise after six years with his latest devilish spin on Monkey Punch’s original manga. LUPIN THE IIIRD: The Movie – The Immortal Bloodline infuses Koike’s signature stylish action with the classic pulpy tones of Monkey Punch’s work for an exhilarating sci-fi tour de force.
The English cast returns as well including Keith Silverstein (Lupin III), Dan Woren (Daisuke Jigen), Lex Lang (Goemon Ishikawa), Cristina Vee (Fujiko Mine), and Richard Epcar (Inspector Zenigata). Catch the official trailer:
