Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is getting an early release in North America, but only for those who have signed up to the higher membership tiers on anime streamer Crunchyroll.

As revealed by Crunchyroll, 250 theaters will host "limited" screenings on September 9 for Mega and Ultra Fan subscribers. That arrives three days before the general release of the Demon Slayer movie in the US and UK on September 12.

Adapting the Infinity Castle manga arc, the new anime movie sees shonen protagonist Tanjiro dive headfirst into the belly of the beast – the titular Infinity Castle, where a legion of demons (led by series Big Bad Muzan Kibutsuji) lies in wait.

In a surprise move, Channing Tatum has joined the English-language cast as Keizo, Akaza's former master – though not everyone is pleased by the Deadpool and Wolverine actor's inclusion.
