That visual looks incredible! A snowy backdrop is not what I expected, but it sounds fun as well. Still a bit worried about the given the prospect of S2 and the movie releasing so close together, but the different directors eases me somewhat.

I hope GKIDS or a similar licensing group gets to release the Spy X Family film in theaters.

With the rise of poetic yet enertaining Shounen works like Spy Family, so very glad that the "My Hero Academia" formula of "testing the waters with a 13 Episode teaser and only make more if its successful" has finally taught Jump Comics to slow down and focus on quality over quantity, instead of churning out filler cluttered year-long-seasons just to fill a quota.

Much as I loved growing up getting to see more of Son Goku's adventures every week for 10 years as a boy from Dragonball to Dragonball Z during the 80's to 90's thanks to Toei Animation's almost industrial work ethics, it only worked because it was led by a Directors and Composers with a visual appreciation for Arthouse, Wuxia, Chambara (Samurai), Film Noir and even Spaghetti Western Cinema.

Now that Jump has passed the reins of future I.P's down to Artistically-Inclined studios who care about making beauty rather than meeting deadlines and the bottom line, slower-produced but visually poetic works of art like Spy Family and Demon Slayer will hopefully become the norm rather than the exception for the Shounen Action/Dramedies;

Thank goodness the last decade of quickly rushed and just-as-quickly-frogotten 12 Episode Harem/Action-Light-Novel Xeroxes thankfuly did not kill the genre.

I’m actually expecting Sony/CR to licence it for theaters since they’ve been getting more involved with theatrical releases not to mention they also streamed S1 of the show.

It looks like the family takes a vacation to the mountains?

Also, it would be incredibly stupid for CR to let someone else handle the movie.
