Hit new anime Solo Leveling is getting a surprise live-action adaptation.

Unfortunately for those hoping to see a new side to Jinwoo's story, there's been practically nothing else has been revealed so far.

Solo Leveling season 2 has already proved a smash with viewers, with its premiere episode generating almost 130,000 likes on streaming service Crunchyroll – a record for the anime series. It's currently adapting the Demon Castle arc.

It all amounts to anime going through a moment – as evidenced by 2025's stacked lineup on streaming and in cinemas. My Hero Academia season 8, the Demon Slayer Infinity Castle movie, and One-Punch Man season 3 are all set to release over the next 12 months.
