Big news has been coming out of early leaks of the latest Shonen Jump, and it looks like the final chapter of Bleach is being celebrated in style. That celebration will come in the form of a live-action movie based on Tite Kubo’s manga, with a release currently penciled in for 2018.

Sota Fukushi (Kamen Rider Fourze, Strobe Edge, Library Wars) has been revealed in the lead role of Ichigo Kurosaki, and the film will be directed by Shinsuke Sato (Gantz, I Am A Hero, Death Note: Light Up the New World).
