Golden Kamuy may seem like a standard historical anime at first glance, but fans know how weird and wild the show gets at times. So, it’ll be interesting to see how the Golden Kamuy live-action movie will fare when it gets released early next year.
This upcoming live-action film was announced last year. Now, the movie finally got a new trailer, which revealed its release date, as well as some action-packed new footage.
On top of these, the Golden Kamuy movie’s main cast was also revealed.
